A power struggle within the Dallas law firm Christopher Clark & Oliver has left partner Ken Hargrove dead and Frank Oliver on trial.Convinced that her client might be guilty but bolstered by accounts of Oliver's irrational behavior, she decides to rely upon an insanity defense at trial. Soon, the resulting courtroom drama threatens to tear the firm apart.Will Kelly have hell to pay? Multi-time published author Mike Farris is a retired attorney, whose last jury trial related to profits from the publication of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, and resulted in a $13.2 million judgment in favor of his client. He then collaborated with his client to write a book about the case, the award-winning "Fifty Shades of Black and White: Anatomy of the Lawsuit Behind a Publishing Phenomenon." Film rights to Mike's non-fiction book "A Death in the Islands: The Unwritten Law and the Last Trial of Clarence Darrow" have been optioned by two of the screenwriters of the Disney box office hit "Moana," who also wrote and co-produced the recent feature film "Adrift." In addition to writing in his retirement, Mike is a book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books and is an adjunct professor of Constitutional Law at The University of Texas at Arlington.
