A young man is accused of killing the daughter of Hong Kong’s richest tycoon after a drunken tryst. His poor shop owner grandmother insists he is innocent and seeks legal aid. Hotshot lawyer Lei You Hui, who ten years prior lost a pivotal case defending local merchant’s rights, agrees to defend the young man, seeking redemption for his previous defeat. Lei’s investigation unearths a conspiracy that may not only expose the truth behind the crime but also unravel a web of corruption. Alex Fong shines as the eponymous attorney in this gripping thriller woven around class struggle and moral bankruptcy. (New York Asian Film Festival)
