Dr. Ben Carter, a brilliant law professor haunted by a past tragedy, is a cynical recluse hiding from the world. His one firm belief is that the law is a lie, a tool for the powerful. But his quiet life of academic detachment is shattered when a desperate delegation from the drowning island nation of Kirani brings him an impossible conspiracy lawsuit: they want to sue a global superpower for causing climate change.
