Frank Galvin is a boozy washed-up Boston attorney with a losing streak a mile long. 

So when he's handed a lucrative out-of-court settlement, everyone expects him to take the money and run. But Frank is tired of running and recklessly brings the case to court...only to discover that if finding the whole truth is a little like trial and error, then finding real justice is a lot like trial by fire.
