Rudy Baylor is a newly-qualified lawyer: he has one case, and one case alone, to save himself from his mounting debts. It is a bad faith suit against a giant insurance company which could have saved a young man's life, but has instead refused to pay the claim until it is 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 he's up against the most expensive lawyers money can buy.
