Clay's been a public defender too long and dreams of a better job. He reluctantly
takes the case of a young man charged with a street killing, assuming it's just
another senseless muder in D.C. As he digs into the case, Clay stumbles on a
conspiracy too horrible to believe and finds himself mired in a complex case
against a large pharmaceutical company, looking at the kind of settlement that
would totally change his life.
