A tense courtroom cat-and-mouse game where an engineer's seemingly confessed crime becomes a battle of wits between prosecutor and defendant, built on intellectual manipulation and legal maneuvering.

A husband is on trial for the attempted murder of his wife, in what is seemingly an open/shut case for the ambitious district attorney trying to put him away. However, there are surprises for both around every corner, and, as a suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse is played out, each must manipulate and outwit the other.
