Synopsis/Details
Logline: After witnessing his father’s mistreatment by a tyrannical employer, a flamboyant Dallas defense attorney defends the employer’s son in a high-profile case, winning in court while executing a long-planned personal revenge, with consequences far darker than he ever intended. After witnessing his father’s mistreatment by a tyrannical employer, a flamboyant defense attorney decides to defend the employer in a high-profile commercial matter, sparing him jail yet securing a satisfying retribution, but with dire consequences for everyone involved. In 1986, sixteen-year-old Jason Wicks works tirelessly across three jobs in Mesquite, Texas, determined to fund his college education and escape the drudgery that dogged his father for years. After witnessing the brutal mistreatment of his father by Rhodes Trucking Company, Jason vows revenge, and the experience strengthens his resolve to pursue justice, setting him on a path to become a high-profile defense attorney. By the turn of the millennium, he’s earned the nickname “Jet Stream Lawyer” for his courtroom theatrics and high-profile cases. Jason takes on a risky case defending his archenemy, Russell Rhodes, who is linked to the Guerrero Cartel. But after securing Rhodes’ acquittal, tensions flare over unpaid fees, leading to a dangerous escalation. While Jason Wicks introduces himself to his new pilot, a violent attack occurs on the tarmac, deepening the rift between him and Russell. Unbeknownst to Jason, his family is mysteriously connected to Russell’s only daughter. Jason’s son, Darren, is drawn into a web of manipulation and betrayal. As the Wicks family becomes entangled in a cartel’s ransom scheme, Jason is forced to confront a moral and legal dilemma while trying to save his loved ones. Catastrophic consequences unfold in the air when Jason, at the controls of his private jet with his wife, Beverly, as the only passenger, is faced with shocking secrets. In the end, the Wicks family’s bond is tested but remains unbreakable, solidified by loyalty, justice, and sacrifice. Packed with sharp dialogue, two high-stakes courtroom dramas, action-packed suspense, and unexpected romance, this story weaves together legal genius, family intrigue, and thrilling consequences.
