Kirkland is haunted by the case of Jeff McCullaugh (Thomas Waites), a man who has spent over a year in jail for a murder he didn't commit, all because a judge refuses to hear his appeal. He must also navigate the absurdities of defending a cross-dresser scared of prison (Robert Christian) and a wealthy, perpetually troubled client (Dominic Chianese).
