Until now.
Hot on the heels of his latest courtroom victory, his wife is brutally murdered.
Devastated, Stafford Lee spirals into a losing streak that forces him to abandon his once brilliant career.
But his wife's killer is still on the loose and they seem determined to frame Stafford Lee for their crimes.
Rising from rock bottom, he makes a bold return to court - to defend himself in the biggest murder trial this town has ever seen.
Stafford Lee must crack the toughest case of his career.
And this time, it's personal.
