Harvard law professor Paul Armstrong (Sean Connery) returns to the courtroom after 25 years when a Florida death row inmate insists he was forced into confessing to the murder of a child. What begins as an appeal for a condemned man becomes a reinvestigation in a humid small town, where capital punishment, local power and conflicting accounts keep the case unsettled. Blair Underwood is the prisoner fighting for his life, while Laurence Fishburne's lawman hangs over every step Armstrong takes.
