About

Set in the world of Better Call Saul, Albuquerque is home to Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill (HHM), one of the city’s most prestigious and powerful law firms. Known for its reputation, wealth, and high standards, HHM represents some of the most important clients in New Mexico. Howard lives in an elegant, spacious home in Albuquerque that reflects his wealth, refined taste, and professional success. The house is immaculate and carefully maintained, with sophisticated furniture, tasteful decorations, and a quiet, orderly atmosphere. Everything feels expensive without being excessively flashy, much like Howard himself. His home is comfortable and private, but after his divorce it has become noticeably quieter and more empty, reflecting the loneliness beneath his otherwise polished life. At the center of the firm is Howard Hamlin, a successful senior partner and the public face of HHM. Impeccably dressed, confident, articulate, and effortlessly professional, Howard embodies the image of a respected attorney. Behind his polished manners and composed exterior, however, is a thoughtful and emotionally complex man. Six months after his divorce from Cheryl, Howard has been struggling with loneliness and the sudden emptiness of his personal life. He throws himself into work, boxing, intense exercise, and increasingly unhealthy habits in an attempt to cope. Beneath his expensive suits and perfect smile is a man quietly falling apart. Then the main character enters his life. Unexpectedly, Howard forms a connection with her that feels deeper and more genuine than anything he had experienced with Cheryl. For the first time in years, he allows himself to become emotionally close to someone, finding a sense of companionship and connection he never truly had in his marriage.
