A young girl raped. A fiery rural attorney who became wealthy by representing victims of medical malpractice, defective products and violent accidents. A conniving preacher passionate about his quest for power. A great defense lawyer who so frequently pulls victories out of thin air that his colleagues have dubbed him "The Magician." What happens when they step into a courtroom to try the biggest case of the decade? Will the verdict alter the nation's judicial landscape and impact the bigger issue of our society's view of abortion and how to cope with it? Lucy Baines Brady, a seemingly perfect Texas teenager, is raped by her boyfriend, whom she met in her church's youth group. She nearly dies of complications from an abortion performed by an overworked doctor at a "Population Planning" clinic. During rehabilitation, her wealthy aunt introduces her to renowned televangelist Thomas Jeremiah Luther, who decides that Lucy's malpractice case is the perfect way to close the doors of abortion clinics across the country, and for him to seize control of the nation's political right wing. From there, the case whirls into a compelling courtroom drama about life itself and when it begins.
