Overview

The Lyon's Den is a television series centered on a character named John Jack Turner. Turner is described as a maverick scion who belongs to an American political dynasty. Initially, he is content working at a small pro-bono law clinic located in Washington, D.C. His professional path is influenced by George Riley, a longtime friend and colleague who encourages him to take a different direction. To ensure the survival of the pro-bono clinic, Turner reluctantly agrees to accept a new role as the managing partner at the sponsoring law firm known as Lyon, LaCrosse, and Levine. The series explores how Turner attempts to reconcile his personal passion for the purity of law with the realities of his professional environment. He navigates a morally ambiguous world where he discovers that the people around him are often not who they appear to be. As a self-described true believer, Turner must balance his ideals against the complexities of his new position within the firm.
