Guilty? Innocent? those questions arn't for high-powered Chicago attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) to decide. His job is to defend - especially if a case will put his name in the headlines and further his career. When Vail (Richard Gere) hears that a penniless altar boy (Edward Northon) is accused of murdering the local archbishiop, he snaps up the case, eager for the media spotlight. Little does he know that it will corruption, pit him against a prosecutor (Laura Linney) who's his ex-lover, and test all his skill, judgement and even his win-at-any-cost attitude.
