Summary

Jake Gyllenhaal headlines an eight-part adaptation of Scott Turow's best-selling novel, which was previously immortalised on screen as a 1990 film directed by Alan J Pakula starring Harrison Ford. Chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Gyllenhaal) is one of the leading lights of Chicago Prosecuting Attorney's office led by district attorney Raymond Horgan (Bill Camp), who is about to stand for reelection. Rusty's colleague Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve) is found raped and murdered in her apartment and he is arrested on suspicion of the crime by detective Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard), who is supporting the campaign of Horgan's rival Nico Della Guardia (O-T Fagbenle). Faced with accusations about his relationship with Carolyn, Rusty leverages what remains of his professional reputation to seek justice and repair his fractured marriage to wife Barbara (Ruth Negga)
