When
a young widow in New Orleans brings a civil suit against
the powerful corporate consortium she holds responsible
for her husband's murder, she sets in motion a multi-million
dollar case. But it's a suit that may be won even before
it begins--based solely on the selection, manipulation and,
ultimately, the attempted “theft” of the jury. Representing
the widow is Wendall Rohr, a courtly Southern lawyer with
a moral centre and a heartfelt passion for the case he's
presenting. His opponent is ostensibly the attorney representing
the corporation. But in reality, defense counsel is only
the front man for Rankin Fitch, a brilliant and ruthless
jury consultant. At a high tech command centre set up in
an old French Quarter warehouse, Fitch and his team work
on the surveillance and assessment of potential jurors.
He will know everything about their lives, and strategically
manipulate the jury selection process. The only acceptable
result is the perfect jury to vote in favour of his client.
Fitch and Rohr soon realise they're not the only ones out
to win the jury. One of the jurors, Nick Easter, seems to
have his own plan for swaying the panel.

who betrayed her. The Bride sets out to take back what was
