Money can buy you anything. Even a verdict.
In
a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a chemical company is declared
guilty of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing
the worst "cancer cluster" in history.
Their only avenue is to
appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will either
approve the verdict or reverse it.
The company's owner wants a
seat on the Court. His political operatives recruit a young,
unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him,
and mould him into a potential Supreme Court justice.
Their Supreme Court justice.
And unless their scheme is exposed, the polluters will make a clean escape.
