Rueben's Ramblings

The new drama Reckless will debut on June 29 on CBS at 9 PM.

The series is set in Charleston, S.C., where a gorgeous Yankee litigator and a charming southern attorney must hide their intense mutual attraction as a police sex scandal threatens to tear the city apart. Jamie Sawyer (Anna Wood from Deception) is enviously cool, confident and armed with south side of Chicago street-smarts as she takes on the good ol’ boys in the South. Her handsome courtroom rival is Roy Rayder (Cam Gigandet from Burlesque and Twilight), is a divorced father of two who embodies the Old South and is the newly minted City Attorney, thanks to his influential former father-in-law, Dec Fortnum (veteran actor Gregory Harrison).

When disgraced cop Lee Anne Marcus (Georgina Haig from Fringe) hires Jamie to represent her in a lawsuit against the police department, Jamie and Roy discover that Lee Anne is at the epicenter of a sinister case with dire implications for the members of the Charleston PD. Heading that department is Deputy Chief Holland Knox (Michael Gladis from Mad Men), a family man who radiates integrity. Working under him are Terry McCandless (Shawn Hatosy from Southland), a cocky and corrupt detective, and Preston Cruz (Adam Rodriguez from CSI: Miami), Jamie’s well-respected boyfriend who might not be all that he appears. Helping Jamie is her confidante and paralegal, Vi Briggs, an expert at digging up case-winning information. As Jamie and Roy spar in and out of the courtroom, dark secrets simmer behind every door and threaten to tarnish the genteel facade of seductive Charleston.

The cast also includes Kim Wayans (In Living Color).
