DUTY TO CLIENT > DUTY TO JUSTICE?

Attorney Talon Winter confronts the darker side of criminal law, in more ways than one, when she is hired to defend the indefensible.

As the case proceeds, Talon wrestles with her role in the justice system, is tempted by an opportunity to abandon criminal practice altogether, and faces what it would mean for her both professionally and personally if she wins a case where the only truly just verdict is guilty.
