Storyline
Criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller operates around Los Angeles County, California, mostly from the back seat of his black Lincoln Town Car, chauffeured by Earl. Haller and his investigator, Frank Levin analyze photos and evidence and find it similar to one of Haller’s past cases that resulted in a life sentence for his client, Jesus Martinez, for murdering a woman, despite his repeated proclamations of innocence.

“A novel is both a story and a piece of writing. A movie is a story and a piece of filmmaking.”
