Despite facing significant pressure from her parents and her fiancé-to-be, all of whom attempt to dissuade her from taking the position, Eva chooses to follow her own instincts and accepts the assignment. As the legal proceedings unfold, she begins to uncover the reality of the situation and comes to the realization that she shares a much more personal connection to the trial than she had initially anticipated.
