Plot summary
Chris's past finally catches up with him; he is apprehended for breaking parole in his home state of West Virginia years before. A circuit judge ( Anne Haney ) presides at his extradition hearing. Chris is willing to go back to West Virginia and prison, but Maurice recruits Mike, the only lawyer around, to represent him, even though Mike has never handled a criminal case. Chris hears what the townspeople think of him during Mike's novel (and desperate) defense.
