“Compelling, honest, sharp.” … “Excitingly scandalous!” … “I couldn’t look away.”
SYNOPSIS:
Josephine Sharpe is a headstrong, young, lesbian lawyer who’s just been given her first crack at a felony trial. Under the beguiling supervision of a MILF-y older coworker, Josephine must defend a man charged with a brutal, homophobic hate crime.
While her fierce morals call her to throw the case and send her client to jail, all morality is threatened by the appeal of winning and impressing her supervisor to the point of romance.
“In the case I win the case, do you think she’ll fuck me?”
“Give this man a fair trial. He’s paying for your first house.”
“If you squint, you can almost see all the different women I’m still made up of. Like a corkboard of affection.”
