Having served 10 years for manslaughter, Beth (Julianne Nicholson) wanted nothing more than to reconnect with her young son...but the sister (Jess Weixler) to whom she ceded custody doesn’t want to give it back. Beleaguered public defender Jess (Emma Roberts), plagued with her own career doubts, takes the daunting case--and might deliver redemption for them both. Skillfully played drama also stars Jimmy Smits, Lea Thompson, Zachary Quinto, Jason Biggs. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
