Named by her father after a football pass with little chance of success, a quick-witted former pro beach volleyball player takes on the exclusive boys club of professional sports by becoming an aggressive sports agent/attorney.

SYNOPSIS:

In her mind, there isn't an ass she can't kick. Mary may be only 5'6" and 120 pounds, but she has a black belt in taekwondo and a chip on her shoulder as big as her heart. Having spent most of her twenty-six years trying unsuccessfully to wrestle the attention of her college football coach father away from her UCLA quarterback first round draft pick brother, Mary feels she has a lot to prove.

Three months before her brother blows up in the NFL, Mary loses her beach volleyball partner to pregnancy and, with it, her shot at the Olympics. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of football and an online law degree, Mary goes into battle with her family to win them over to her conviction that she should be her brother's agent. Her father's dead set against it. As usual, her mother takes his side. Her brother, close as they are, tosses the ball back into her court, challenging her to change her father's mind.

Meanwhile, Mary scores in the courtroom. She wins her first case, defending a mostly innocent young man charged with statutory rape by "throwing a Hail Mary pass," a tactic destined practically from birth to be her trademark.

Just when it starts to feel safe to assume that Mary's father will be the source of his daughter's undoing, Bryan Harris, the most successful sports agent in the history of football, and her father's first choice, comes to her rescue. After she beats him at a football-throwing contest, Bryan settles their bet by taking her to a glamorous restaurant where he charms her into believing he's quite possibly the man of her dreams. He ends up offering her a job with his sports management company in San Francisco, agreeing to put her in charge of her brother's career, thereby guaranteeing that her brother will sign with him.

But, in the end, Bryan's actions cast doubt on that dream and portentously reveal the devious part he'll play for years to come. Just moments after Mary's car leaves the restaurant, Bryan-ironically with his own evil Hail Mary pass-reveals the depth of his resentment. He's still furious for having had to humiliate himself in front of both male members of Mary's family, having felt compelled to lose the football-throwing contest to a girl.

The trap is set and reset in episode after episode as Mary joins Bryan's management team as both an agent, battling sexism with a quick wit and a sharp tongue, and, as an attorney, defending players in the courtroom and on the street. Her relationship with Bryan grows more and more complex as slowly she begins to realize that the man of her dreams turns out to be her father's evil twin.
