The Professor

A retired Professor of Law who hasnâ€™t tried a real case in forty years teams up with a former student whoâ€™s yet to trial a case at all, in order to clear both of their namesâ€¦

The ProfessorÂ introduces Thomas Jackson McMurtrie, a longtime lawÂ professorÂ atÂ theÂ University of Alabama, who, 40 years after giving up a promising career as a trial lawyer to teach law students atÂ the request of his mentor, Coach Paul â€œBearâ€ Bryant, retires to his farm an angry and bitter man, betrayed by both a Board member he mistook for a friend and his own failing health. Meanwhile,Â theÂ young family of one of Tomâ€™s oldest friends is killed in a tragic collision with an 18-wheeler.Â

Believing his career is over, Tom refers his friend to a brilliant, yet beleaguered, former student, Rick Drake, who begins to uncover thatÂ theÂ truth behindÂ theÂ tragedy is buried in a tangled web of arson, bribery and greed. When a key witness is murdered onÂ theÂ eve of trial,Â theÂ young attorney, in over his head and atÂ theÂ end of his rope, knows he needs helpâ€¦and thereâ€™s only one man who can help him.

The Professor is the first in a series of tense legal thriller featuring the unusual and compelling legal team of McMurtie & Drake, combining the thrills and authenticity of a John Grisham novel for the audience that flocked to Friday Night Lights.
