A high-profile businessman, Devon Major, is charged with stabbing his ex-wife, Angela Major, to death. He claims he received a call from her to visit, hoping for reconciliation, but found her with a knife in her abdomen. Devon surprisingly asks his divorce attorney, Susan Grace, a former criminal lawyer, to defend him, hoping she'll believe his story and clear his name. Despite her reservations about Devon's past behavior, Susan agrees to defend him to protect Angela's memory. As the trial begins, District Attorney Kirsten Sorensen, known for bending the rules, takes on the case, and a third party intervenes, potentially disrupting the trial and revealing new information about the murder.
