Sólo ante la ley

You defend lowlifes for cash in L.A. then a Korean mom hands you her son’s wrongful-conviction file and a starry-eyed rookie insists you’re his moral compass. The case smells like framed evidence and Eddie’s cynical armor starts to crack. Joseph Ruben stages justice as a back-alley chess match where every pawn knows the rules no longer apply.
