The Devil's Lawyer

by Steven

If the law says he did his job, why does he feel guilty?

Adrian Cole is the lawyer nobody wants to need: brilliant, ruthless, and certain that his job is not to decide who deserves punishment, only to make sure the law is followed.

Then he takes the case of Victor Hale, a charming, wealthy man accused of murdering his wife. The evidence looks overwhelming. Adrian wins anyway.

Months later, a video arrives from a dead woman's email account, and the victory he was proud of begins to feel like a lie he helped tell.

Contains graphic violence and disturbing scenes. 18+.
