Summary
A small-town Michigan lawyer and former prosecutor takes on the defense of an Army lieutenant who has killed a local innkeeper, claiming the man raped his flirtatious wife. As the trial unfolds, the defense pursues an 'irresistible impulse' insanity plea against a sharp big-city prosecutor, while the truth about the marriage, the alleged assault, and the defendant's character remains stubbornly ambiguous.
