rudy baylor is a newly-qualified lawyer: he has one case, and one case alone, to save himself from his mounting debts. his case is against a giant insurance company which could have saved a young mans life, but instead refused to pay the claim until it was too late. the settlement could be worth millions of dollars, but there is one problem: rudy has never argued a case in court before, and hes up against the most expensive lawyers that money can buy.
