Clay Carter lleva asi demasiado tiempo y, como la mayoria de sus colegas, suena con un puesto mejor en un bufete de verdad. Cuando acepta, sin muchas ganas, el caso de un hombre joven al que acusan de un tiroteo callejero con victimas, asume que simplemente es uno mas de los tantos asesinatos absurdos que se cometen en Washington D.C. cada semana. Mientras investiga el pasado de su cliente, Clay destapa una conspiracion demasiado horrible para ser cierta. De repente se encuentra en medio de un complejo caso contra una de las mayores companias farmaceuticas del mundo, en busca de uno de esos acuerdos economicos que cambiarian su vida por completo... que lo convertirian, casi de la noche a la manana, en el nuevo rey de los pleitos ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Office of the Public Defender is not known as a training ground for bright young litigators. Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week. As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life--that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession's newest king of torts.
