Plot Overview

A dropout from Aaron's law school class calls him for help after he's arrested for assault and possession of explosive devices. He claims that the suitcase full of explosives doesn't belong to him, but rather, he was holding it for a friend called 'Big J'. Aaron finds a witness who claims that the explosives don't belong to him, the man's girlfriend, but he's reluctant to have her testify, certain that she's lying. Aaron then tries to get his friend to plead guilty to the charges, but instead he calls Aaron a fink and tells him to get lost. Not long afterward, the young man commits suicide in his cell, and his father, a prominent lawyer in his own right, demands that Aaron be brought up on charges that he failed to properly represent his client.
