Winter’s Duty

DUTY TO CLIENT > DUTY TO JUSTICE?

Attorney Talon Winter confronts the darker side of criminal law, in more ways than one, when she is hired to defend the indefensible.
A young man with every advantage in life is charged with murdering his own grandparents. The media goes into a frenzy. The state puts their top prosecutor on the case. And the young man’s parents, despite everything, hire the best defense attorney in town: Talon Winter. As the case proceeds, Talon wrestles with her role in the justice system, is tempted by an opportunity to abandon criminal practice altogether, and faces what it would mean for her both professionally and personally if she wins a case where the only truly just verdict is guilty.
