Plot

21st Century detective Jake Cardigan is arrested for murdering the husband of his ex-wife. It seems like a frame up, yet Cardigan refuses to let the authorities investigate further or even deny any involvement in the killing.

After receiving a phone call, Lieutenant Winger and Det. Prosco arrive at the Cosmo office and find Bennett Sands shot dead. They analyze the crime scene and find 82% of the DNA of Jake Cardigan, and soon Jake appears and confesses the crime. His friends see that he is lying to protect someone, and Walter H. Bascom hires the efficient teenager lawyer Eugene Leopold to defend him.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
