Using a who-done-it format, Craig Wright explores the lives of the Darlings, an affluent family consisting of the typical stern male father Tripp (Donald Sutherland); a mother, Leticia (Jill Clayburgh), whose past is littered with adultery; a son, Patrick IV, (William Baldwin) who is a politician; a daughter, Karen (Natalie Zea), a professional divorcee; a reverend, Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald); and twins Juliet (Samaire Armstrong) and Jeremy (Seth Gabel).
Along with the extravagant family is Nick George (Peter Krause), who took his father's old position as the Darling's attorney. His motivation is to figure out who killed his father.
In the episode titled "Pilot," Nick's father is killed in a plane crash and Nick takes over his position as the Darling's attorney. He is initiated right off the bat, learning all of the ins and outs that make the viewers love to hate Darling family.
In the second episode, more secrets are revealed that add an interesting twist in the plot. At this point, Nick believed that his father's death was Tripp's doing. Nick stole Tripp's journal from his desk and was forced to fess up when things got a little out of hand.
In doing so, he and Tripp had a discussion about his father's affair with Letitia, which ended in a solidification that the affair was real and not his imagination running wild. His father's combination to his briefcase was Letitia's birthday.
After several weeks, Tripp confronted Letitia with DNA results asking which of their children was not his. Though we don't know who the child is, we do know that there is an illegitimate Darling in the mix.
