This film is based on a true story where the owner of O'Keefe funeral home needed help to keep his businesses from closing. Under the advice of his attorney Jerry O'Keefe (played by Tommy Lee Jones) met with the owner of a large corporation called the Loewen Group Inc. Unfortunately there is where his trouble begins. He later hires Willie E. Gary (played by Jamie Foxx) as his attorney to help with his case. Willie has never lost a case because he only took on personal injury and malpractice cases, but he was about to meet his match in Mame Downes (played by Jurnee Smollett).
There are so many twists and turns doing the trail that Mr. O'Keefe loses hope. All Jerry wants is to make his wife Annette happy (played by Pamela Reed) and a legacy for his children and grandchildren. But low and behold, when surprising information uncovered by young lawyer Hal Dockins (played by Mamoudou Athie) helps turn the case around.
Did Wille win the case? What happens with the O'Keefe legacy? What happens to the Loewen Group Inc?
