In the courtroom, they are sworn enemies.
Behind closed doors, the rules begin to fracture.
Ronan Eastwood and Avery Williams are two of the city's most feared litigators - brilliant, relentless, and incapable of backing down. Their rivalry has been forged in objections, cross-examinations, and courtroom victories measured in headlines and reputations. When a high-stakes class action forces them into an uneasy partnership, neither expects the case to expose something far more dangerous than corporate negligence.
As pressure mounts and lines blur, professional hostility turns combustible. Every late night, every strategic clash, every private confrontation tests the limits of ethics, control, and desire. What begins as a calculated arrangement threatens to become an affair neither of them can afford-and one that could cost them their careers if discovered.
Because in law, conflicts of interest destroy cases.
And some arguments are never meant for the record.
