One case. One chance. One man against the world.

Fighting for justice for a young man whose death could have easily been prevented.

There is just one problem. Rudy has never argued a case before.

And he is up against the most expensive lawyers that money can buy.

Can Rudy win against the odds?

Or will the truth be buried forever?
