A legal thriller about a rookie lawyer whose first murder case comes with a built-in enemy: his own client. Small-town courtroom drama and criminal-defense peril, with treachery and lies that stretch far past the trial. His First Murder Trial. His Worst Enemy Sits Beside Him. When he lands a high-profile murder case, Thaddeus Murfee comes up against his first major adversary. It's not the prosecution. It's his client.
