The unexpected death of the wife of an old friend takes Billy McBride to California's Central Valley. She was killed during some kind of fracking earthquake? A record drought has made water more valuable than human life in this area. Billy feels bad for his friend and he’d like to find out how the ground just opened up in an agricultural area?
There are a LOT of very strange things going on at a casino here? It’s not long before Billy decides they have a case and Patty Solis-Papagian travels to meet up with Billy and figure out the legal angles. 5* (I liked this episode)
The entire plot for Season 3 is based on the true story of Lynda and Stewart Resnick and their Paramount Farms ("Wonderful", "Pom", etc.) empire that is primarily in Kern County. The Kern County Water Bank controls who gets water and also who doesn’t. Many residents of the South-Central Valley around Bakersfield don't have tap water for various legal reasons. This is not a secret and the press has been reporting this over the past few years.
Each episode 59 min, drama directed by Lawrence Trilling, written by Jennifer Ames, Steve Turner and David E. Kelley with Billy Bob Thornton, Nina Arianda, Tanie Raymonde, Diana Hopper, Ana de la Reguera, Julie Brister, Graham Green, Shamier Anderson, Amy Brenneman, Dennis Quaid, Beau Bridges, Griffin Dunne, Lauren Tom, Delanna Studi.
Mistake: At the gas station Billy goes to pay and says give me $30 on the pump, a pint of Jack and a pack of cigarettes then he leaves but he doesn't pump gas?
