Glenn Close stars as Patty Hewes, a ruthless corporate litigator out to destroy Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), who sold his company's stocks out from under his employees. In the legal thriller's opener, Hewes hires law-school grad Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) to work on the case against Frobisher, but it turns out that she has an unwitting tie to the corporate buccaneer: Her best friend (and soon to be sister-in-law) is a chef who is being bankrolled by him.

Frobisher pushes Fiske to take a more aggressive approach on the case. “I want redemption,” he tells him.

In flash-forwards, Ellen is seen being attacked, and fighting back
