After being arrested for driving under the influence and suspended for a year, a brilliant high-powered defense attorney finds herself bought out by her firm. Jobless and tempted to use drugs again, she instead seeks cases helping those who can't afford good attorneys, and soon comes upon the case of a black man wrongfully accused of killing two cops.
After a disgraced defense attorney, who lost her license to practice law for a year, is forced out of her firm, she starts taking cases pro bono to help those at risk of being railroaded by the legal system.
