Promising young lawyer Kevin Lomax (Keanu Reeves) has never lost a case--even when his client
is guilty. When Kevin is seduced away from his sleepy hometown in Florida to work for a flashy,
charming lawyer (Al Pacino, in a role he seems born to play), his mother (Judith Ivey) has
reservations. But as he works his way up the corporate ladder, Kevin manages to put them aside,
along with his wife's (Charlize Theron) needs and the stirrings of his conscience over knowingly
defending the guilty. However, his vanity won't let him start losing now. As Kevin's career
skyrockets, his neglected wife Mary Ann begins to see evil, violent visions. Hoping a visit from his
mother will help, instead Kevin finds himself confronted with a secret his mother has never told
him. As Mary Ann seemingly descends into madness, Kevin begins to suspect his boss may be
much more than he seems, and he finds himself faced with a choice between saving his own life
and saving his soul.
