Premise

So Help Me Todd follows Todd, who has good instincts as a private investigator, but lacks direction and is the black sheep of his family. After his strong-willed mother, Margaret, negotiated dropping criminal charges against Todd two years previously, he reluctantly agrees to work at her Portland, Oregon, law firm as an in-house investigator.
