Lawyer Wyatt Matthews has a thriving practice, a glitzy house, a sleek
car, and a beautiful wife. So why does he feel unfulfilled? Not
enough "real life." So he takes a leave from his lucrative law firm,
signs on with the public defender, and takes on the seemingly
unwinnable case of teenage drug dealer Marvin White. In jail for
robbery, White tries to impress a fellow prisoner by claiming to be the
serial killer responsible for the deaths of half a dozen prostitutes.
But the prisoner who hears White's confession is a snitch who uses his
scoop to his own advantage. Only Wyatt, with a skeleton staff and none
of the resources his old firm offered, can help prove White's innocence
and convict the real killer.
