Dutch Francis has built his practice on drunk-driving cases, not on trials for homicide. When an old friend asks him for a favor, he agrees to represent a young man charged with killing the most celebrated athlete at the local high school. The defendant is troubled, the victim is a community hero, and the town seems to have made up its mind already. Dutch must step well outside his usual work and examine the evidence closely to learn whether his client is guilty, or whether someone else had good reason to want the star player dead.
