A bishop was brutally murdered in his luxurious apartment in Chicago and the police made an instant arrest, after chasing down a blood-soaked young man named Aaron Stampler who was found hiding near the scene of the crime. Martin Vail, a cynical defense attorney, takes on Aaron's case pro bono in order to boost his reputation. He and his team find themselves racing against time and against all odds to gather evidence of Aaron's past and build a plausible defense scenario, but as the story unravels and they delve deeper into the innermost thoughts of a disturbed mind, they realize that not all is as it seems.
If you became an Edward Norton fan because of Fight Club, American History X, or Red Dragon, then you should check his debut film out as he was absolutely stunning here as well.
