The Cross

Eddie Flynn is a former con artist who now works as a defence lawyer in New York City, running a small firm that is close to financial ruin. When a widow asks him to fight on behalf of her husband, a man who died in a clash with the police and was accused of killing someone during a robbery outside a famous hotel, Flynn finds himself doubting the official account. Taking the case to trial could save the firm, but losing it could destroy them. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a tangle of lies and graft that reaches much further than he had imagined. Over a single whirlwind day he chases leads across the city, and everything comes down to a courtroom cross-examination, where he must decide how far he is willing to go to reveal the truth.
