This legal thriller follows the turbulent lives of Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), the nation's most revered and reviled high-stakes litigator, and her bright, ambitious protégé Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) as they become embroiled in a class-action lawsuit targeting Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), one of the country's wealthiest CEOs. As Patty battles with Frobisher and his attorney Ray Fiske (Zeljko Ivanek), Ellen will be front and center witnessing just what it takes to win at all costs, as it quickly becomes clear that lives, as well as fortunes, may be at stake.
