Synopsis

When down on his luck actor Kent Ashford gets the part of his dreams as one of the lawyers in an upcoming movie about the OJ Simpson trial he is elated. His agent suggests he research the role by spending time in the New York criminal courts, so he gets into character by dressing the part and heads down there. When the security team issue him with a visiting attorney's pass, he is sure it's a good sign that he's doing well. However, when an understaffed judge press gangs him into service he feels he might have gone too far. Nobody there will believe he is not a real attorney though. He can only hope he is a good enough actor to help those to whom he has been assigned counsel.
