Kevin Lomax è un giovane avvocato di successo della Florida. Non ha mai perso una causa, benchè talvolta consapevole della colpevolezza dei propri clienti. E' felicemente sposato con Mary Ann e ha un buon rapporto con la madre. L'eco dei suoi successi giunge all'orecchio di John Milton, fondatore e capo di uno degli studi legali più prestigiosi di New York, che gli fa un'offerta a dir poco allettante.
