A grieving family, whose teenage daughter was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, struggles to find justice as they encounter bureaucratic delays in bringing the case to trial. Their only hope is young, District Attorney Martin Sawyer (Denzel Washington), who, ruling after ruling, is hard-pressed to overcome the shameless tactics the defense lawyer uses to keep his wealthy client out of jail. As the family's frustration and outrage builds, Sawyer must deliver the performance of his life if he hopes to outwit the opposing counsel and bring justice to an innocent girl who didn't deserve to die.
