A lawyer is accused of a heinous crime but maintains his innocence. An old man worries about the end of days. A woman races against the clock to save her ailing son's life. Another woman frets over the dangers facing her husband, a soldier deployed to Afghanistan. A disenfranchised black man toils in his lowly job and seeks revenge against society.
And when all these people are called to serve on the jury in the lawyer's highly publicized trial, formerly separate worlds merge and collide, with startling, possibly deadly results.
