Als Anwalt ist Andrew Beckett einer der Besten: jung, schlagfertig, gewitzt, erfolgreich. Aber Andrew Beckett hat AIDS. Und als seine Arbeitgeber bei der Renommierkanzlei Wyant & Wheeler dies herausbekommen, feuern sie ihn unter dem Vorwand, er habe seine Pflichten vernachlässigt. Doch Andrew will sein Recht. Nur, daß ihn kein Anwalt in der Stadt vertreten will. Außer Joe Miller, einem kleinen Rechtsverdreher, der zu allem Überfluß noch schwarz ist. Die Chancen stehen schlecht - und niemand weiß, ob der todkranke Andrew das Ende des Prozesses noch erleben wird ...
