"Shark" is a drama that follows the professional and personal life of Sebastian Stark (James Woods), a charismatic, supremely self-confident and cutthroat prosecutor who chose to leave his long-beloved career as an ace defense attorney after a disturbing outcome in one of his cases resulted in a personal epiphany.
Though Sebastian is seeking to redeem himself, he has no intention of changing his underhanded approach to winning cases just because he's now working for the other side of the law. Having weathered a challenging but successful first year as head of the Los Angeles District Attorney's High Profile Crime Unit, Sebastian has had the added good fortune of persuading the ambitious, accomplished and recently displaced former DA, Jessica Devlin (Jeri Ryan), to revisit her glory days as a trial attorney by becoming a senior member of his team.
