Renowned criminal defense attorney, Sarah Knight, is appointed to represent Alexa Reed, a former United States Supreme Court clerk and the former daughter-in-law of Supreme Court Justice Coleman Reed. Alexa is accused of killing her ex-husband Michael and La Jolla psychologist Ronald Brigman. Cell phone data and surveillance footage place Alexa at the scene of both murders. When the trial judge excludes Sarah’s star witness on the eve of trial, Sarah is forced to risk her darkest secret and her own freedom to bring to the stand the only witness who can save Alexa’s life.
