At some point, every lawyer will encounter a client from hell.

Kelly Adair finds herself in this exact situation, defending a lawyer accused of killing another. A power struggle within the Dallas law firm Christopher Clark & Oliver has left partner Ken Hargrove dead and Frank Oliver on trial.

Convinced that her client might be guilty but bolstered by accounts of Oliver's irrational behavior, she decides to rely upon an insanity defense at trial. Soon, the resulting courtroom drama threatens to tear the firm apart.

Will Kelly have hell to pay?
