Synopsis

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

Rudy Baylor is a newly qualified lawyer, forced into ambulance-chasing by bad luck and poor job prospects. Unexpectedly, he winds up on a case representing a family whose son was denied insurance cover for his leukemia treatment. Instead, the company delayed until it was too late to ensure they wouldn't have to pay out.

The case could change it all. Rudy's deeply in debt, and a settlement from the insurance company could save his legal practice. But he's never argued a case in court before, and the company isn't going down without a fight. In fact, he'll be up against an army of the best lawyers money can buy...
