A perpetrator who doesn't deny guilt. A newly minted lawyer trying to prove otherwise.
With money tight and career prospects even tighter, newly minted lawyer Brigham Theodore takes the desperate step of joining a shady Salt Lake City law firm. However, he loses his first case, a speeding case, and is convinced that he can say goodbye to his legal career. That's why he's more than surprised when his boss assigns him a slightly more challenging case: Amanda Pierce is a tormented and exhausted woman whose daughter was raped and murdered by a psychopath. And she got back at him. There is no doubt that she was the one who pulled the trigger - five witnesses saw her. Even if the public sympathy is on her side, she faces the death penalty - and she does not deny her guilt. The newly-trained lawyer starts to fight not only for his career, but also for the life of his client.
