A man is killed in an office shootout. His wife sues the gun manufacturer who made the gun that killed her husband and several others. One man ends up on the jury and it seems like it was his intention. As the trial unfolds it becomes clear that the juror and his friend are trying to rig the jury. The gun manufacturer being sued is also trying to rig the jury, so the two face off in a deadly game of wits and try to win the case.
