Jack Skinner is a criminal defense lawyer whose life is not what he imagined it would be. He's divorced, his children basically hate him, and for 25 years he has had to deal with a terrible allegation that has torn his family apart. Then one day he thinks his money problems are over when a stranger with a wad of cash hires him to procure a liquor license. Two days later his client is arrested for the murder of a wealthy South Alabama socialite. Jack believes that his client is innocent and sets out to prove it. This decision, however, puts his professional and personal life on a crash course.
