Mickey Haller gets pulled over during what should be a routine traffic stop. Police discover his client's dead body in the trunk of his Lincoln. The defense attorney faces murder charges and sits behind bars when a hostile judge sets his bail at five million dollars. From his cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center, Mickey decides to represent himself. He must build his case while surrounded by inmates who see him as a target because of his role in the court system. Mickey knows someone has set him up. He works with his team from the outside to identify who wants to destroy him and why they chose this method.
