While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory.
When Jessica decides to put him in second chair on a lawsuit which could potentially make or break the firm, Harvey feels undermined. However, his 'back seat driving' might just have far reaching consequences. Meanwhile, Mike's case sees a young tennis pro pitted against his trainer, who also happens to be the athlete’s father, and Donna deals with the fallout from the Coastal Motors case
