How to Get Away with Murder is a legal drama series about a group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defence professor who become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives.
Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) is everything you hope your Criminal Law professor will be - brilliant, passionate, creative and charismatic. She's also everything you don't expect - sexy, glamorous, unpredictable and dangerous.
As fearless in the courtroom as she is in the classroom, Annalise is a defence attorney who represents the most hardened, violent criminals - people who've committed everything from fraud to arson to murder - and she'll do almost anything to win their freedom.
On the surface, Annalise seems like she has it all - a successful career and loving husband, Sam (Tom Verica) - but her relationship with a local Philadelphia detective, Nate (Billy Brown), will force her to confront secrets about her life she never saw coming.
Each year, Annalise selects a group of the smartest, most promising students to come work at her law firm. The students vying for this coveted position include Wes Gibbins, a wide-eyed, likable boy-next-door recently accepted off the waitlist; Michaela Pratt, a confident, ambitious overachiever born knowing how to "lean in;" Connor Walsh, a sly, sophisticated heartbreaker used to getting any prize he lays his eyes on; Laurel Castillo, a quiet, sensitive idealist who's easy to underestimate and Asher Millstone, an entitled know-it-all born into a world of Ivy League educations and country club memberships.
The students all work under two of Annalise's dedicated associates: Frank Delfino, a local Philly boy done good, and Bonnie Winterbottom, a sweet, observant team-player with a hidden edge.
Early in the first season, Wes becomes entangled with his mysterious neighbour, Rebecca, after she becomes the main suspect in the murder of a beautiful university coed. Annalise's involvement with Rebecca's case will challenge her students' values, convictions, and dreams, as she teaches them the dark truth about the law and our justice system.
It's worth it though. Working for Annalise is the opportunity of a lifetime, one that can change the course of our students' lives forever, which is exactly what happens when they find themselves involved in a murder plot that will rock the entire university.
