He's a young lawyer who does yard work in exchange for rent, and then a one little case begins to explode. It's summer in Memphis and Rudy Baylor's in trouble with creditors. His aspirations of breezing through law school and punching his ticket to the good life have evaporated. Now he doesn't have a job or a prayer...except one--an insurance dispute that leaves a family devastated and opens the door for a lawsuit, if Rudy can find a way to file it.
