The Colour Of Law

A. Scott Fenny is a hotshot corporate lawyer at the Dallas firm of Ford Stevens. Thirty-six years old, in the prime of his life he rakes in $750,000 a year and comes home to a $3.5 million manison in an exclusive neighbourhood. But when a rich sentor's playboy son is murdered in sleazy circumstances, Fenny is asked by the federal judge to put his lifestyle on hold to defend the accused - a black heroin-addicted prostitute - free of charge. Despite the financial implications, Fenny still believes in justice and he wants to help the woman. But for the sake of justice, is he willing to sacrifice everything he holds dear?
