Louis Roulet insists that an assault allegation is a setup and hires defense lawyer Mick Haller to clear his name. What looks like a well-paid case grows more disturbing when Haller’s investigator uncovers information that connects his client’s story to an earlier conviction, leaving the lawyer constrained by the confidentiality he owes the man he now fears.
