Un brillante avvocato di Philadelphia viene licenziato per inefficienza e inaffidabilità dal prestigioso studio legale dove lavora. In realtà è una scusa, sostenuta con mezzi ignobili: infatti hanno scoperto che è omosessuale e malato di Aids. Sostenuto dall'affettuosa famiglia e dal suo compagno, difeso da un grintoso avvocato nero, fa causa agli ex datori di lavoro.
