It is not often recognized that the public defender's office serves as a training ground for ingenious young litigators. Like most of his coworkers, Clay Carter has been there too long and is hoping for a better position at a legitimate company. Reluctantly accepting the case of a young guy accused of a random street killing, he believes it's simply another one of the countless mindless killings that occur in D.C. on a weekly basis.
Investigating his client's past, Clay discovers a scheme that is too terrible to be true. Almost immediately, he would become the legal profession's newest king of torts, but instead he finds himself in the thick of a complicated lawsuit against one of the biggest pharmaceutical corporations in the world, with the potential for a massive payment that would completely transform his life.
