SYNOPSIS

Fresh off a winning case that brought her unwanted internet fame, a rising ADA learns of the district’s most respected judge allegedly assaulting her best friend. She starts a case but is surprised to be met with resistance by the district attorney who mentored her, her best friend who questions the system and her motives, and the judge himself who knows her own dark secret.
