What Rats Won't Do (R)

synopsis

London's present-day law courts, tethered to England's eccentric (and often archaic) legal system, serve as the playing field for a battle royal of the sexes between two ambitious barristers, both inside and outside of court chambers. Natascha McElhone ("Mrs. Dalloway," and the upcoming "Ronin") and James Frain ("Nothing Personal") are the lawyers in love/hate (and on opposing sides of the same high-profile case).
