Attorney Sean Casey is called on by the New York District Attorney to try drug kingpin Jordan Washington, accused of murdering two cops and injuring a third, Sean's father. The publicity from the trial is a boon to Sean's career, but when Washington's lawyer, Sam Vigoda, makes accusations of police corruption that may implicate his father, Sean is divided between justice, his career, and his family.
