Bellisario will play Claire, an idealistic law student and volunteer at a social services law clinic. Mike (SAG® Award nominee Patrick J. Adams, “Luck”) meets Claire in a flashback to his days as a bike messenger. Ultimately they begin dating, but things get complicated when Mike tries to help with one of Claire’s cases.  The result causes him to question the trajectory of his life.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
