The plot of Lincoln's lawyer

The morning light cast bright colors on the shiny black car body. The logo of "Lincoln" on the front of the car vaguely shines with luxury and coldness. The sun shines through the window on the thoughtful Mickey Hall (Matthew McConaughey) in the back seat. His side face seems to have a touch of gold. Mickey Howler, nicknamed Lawyer Lincoln, is a criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles. His car is a Lincoln limousine. Unlike ordinary lawyers, Howler deals mostly with clients at the bottom of society, such as Yeyi and street prostitutes. He is not black and white, but he is not a greedy villain. In his view, if a rich and powerful client breaks the law, he will not feel guilty as a lawyer even if he is sentenced to prison; But if the client is innocent, once the defense fails, the innocent person will face jail and his conscience will be condemned.

This time, the object of Howler's defense is the young and wealthy Beverly Hills playboy Luis Roulet (ryan phillippe). Roulet was accused of beating, raping and attempting to murder the recruit girl Ruiqi. He looked weak and nervous, and repeatedly claimed his innocence. Everything was set up on purpose, and he just wanted to get away with it. At first glance, this case is a small lawsuit that is easy to win. Howler can easily get high lawyer fees and even embark on the road to success. In the process of understanding the details of the case, the evidence obtained by Howler at first seems to be really beneficial to Roulet. However, as the investigation deepened, he found that his client occasionally lied. What is true? What's fake? Is the cynical young master just a mask? How should he handle himself as a defense lawyer? Hall faced a dilemma for the first time.

The terrible truth gradually surfaced. By chance, Howler found that this case has many similarities with another rape and murder case he took over. Two years ago, someone killed a prostitute in the same way, and Howler was the lawyer who forced the suspect to confess. If his present client does commit a heinous crime, but he gets away with it, then the man who is put in prison will be treated unfairly for a crime he has never committed. He must trace the crime two years ago to the end, but now he must also do his duty as a defense lawyer, but he never imagined that this dangerous game, once started, would be involved in an uncontrollable track. ...
