Set to arrive on DVD and Digital HD on Sept. 6, "In-Lawfully Yours" features an all-star cast including Chelsey Crisp ("Fresh off the Boat"), Marilu Henner ("Taxi," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and Corbin Bernsen ("LA Law," "Psych," "Major League") along with Philip Boyd ("Tyler Perry's The Have and the Have Nots") and Joe Williamson ("Grey's Anatomy").

"In-Lawfully Yours" follows Jesse (Crisp), a fun-loving New York City girl, after her husband, Chaz (Boyd), cheats on and later divorces her. Jesse still graciously helps her recently widowed mother-in-law, Naomi (Henner), pack up her home in the small-town of Bethel Cove. Jesse's candid wit, eccentric questions and big city ways clash with the local community, including the town's pastor Ben (Williamson), who also happens to be her ex-husband's brother-in-law. The unlikely duo soon discover what they are both looking for: each other. But when they make their relationship public, Jesse's ex-husband rallies the community against her and gets Ben fired from the church. Jesse leaves Bethel Cove to bring peace to Ben's situation, and to hopefully find a place where she truly belongs in spite of the fact that she can't stop thinking about Ben.
