Jay has a one-track mind. He's driven to succeed, not out of pride, but desperation. Justice is all he has in mind when he fights his way through law school. Falling for hot-headed Vera is a distraction he can't afford.
When the two collide, seemingly on similar paths, they realize they have nothing in common but their chosen professional goals. When a cut and dry conviction becomes their summer project, Jay and Vera need each other if they plan to win. Even more if they want to stay alive.
