A law firm brings in its "fixer" to remedy the situation after a lawyer has a breakdown while representing a chemical company that he knows is guilty in a multi-billion dollar class action suit.

VIBE

This is a taut, intelligent legal thriller that feels both cynical and urgent. It immerses you in a world of high-stakes corporate power plays and moral decay, where every decision carries a heavy weight. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet subtly dread-laced, demanding your full attention.
