Synopsis of Ray Donovan

Ray Donovan is an Irish-American from South Boston who works for Goldman & Drexler, a powerful Los Angeles law firm that represents wealthy and famous clients. Played by Liev Schreiber, Ray is a "fixer," someone who makes sure the client gets the result they want, even if that means arranging bribes, payments or threats. He is very good at what he does and, outside the office, is a devoted family man. But his family, also from South Boston, never stops causing him headaches. The series, created by Ann Biderman for Showtime, follows Ray's day-to-day life between client jobs and the problems of the men around him.
