Race

A wealthy white man faces a charge of sexually assaulting a much younger Black woman, and he turns to a law firm whose staff is racially mixed to build his case. The attorneys assigned to him, one white and one Black, start planning a strategy, but as they do, they find themselves forced to examine their own prejudices and presumptions about race relations in the United States.
