Dori Brenner plays the role of Cassie's assistant, a paroled shoplifter and A. Martinez plays a gym manager, Benny, who also works as Cassie's leg man. Cassie uses her considerable good looks and sex appeal as well as her analytical abilities to solve her cases. When she needs help with difficult cases she turns to Shack. When she needs information she turns to her ex-husband, the City District Attorney played by Alex Cord.
