Hank Palmer è un affermato avvocato difensore di criminali. Quando torna nella piccola città d'origine per i funerali della madre, ad attenderlo trova il padre Joseph, stimato e onesto giudice, e i suoi due fratelli. Il rapporto con il padre è freddo e conflittuale, ma quando l'uomo viene accusato di omicidio, Hank decide di restare e aiutarlo difendendolo in tribunale. Il crimine di cui è accusato riguarda un omicida che lui stesso aveva condannato vent'anni prima. Il giudice non ricorda nulla e Hank è l'unico che crede nella sua innocenza.
