A young attorney struggles to hide the disgraceful events which led to his disbarment and relocation to an idyllic small town. As desperation mounts, the curious arrival of an unlikely fugitive — an eccentric, septuagenarian heiress — creates an opportunity for personal salvation. All she wants in return is an accomplice in settling a bizarre grudge: silencing a local professor previously critical of her well-known father. The proposition she offers, however, risks not only unraveling the attorney’s life, but shattering the entire town that he’s come to love more than anything.

Desperate to hide the disgraceful events surrounding his disbarment, a young attorney is forced to consider a deranged proposition from an aging, vengeful heiress, who is hellbent on protecting her family legacy through the silencing of a local critic.

Interesting, but here is a lot of shadow hiding pertinent details for me, please elaborate on the following:
1. Is our disbarred attorney harboring a fugitive from justice – the heiress?
2. For his arc, how does the entrance of her character or the acceptance of the “proposition” get him closer to being reinstated as an attorney to be able to legally defend her?
3. The way the logline reads her critics are active and need to be silenced, but your elaboration puts this fight in the past? Why would a disgraced attorney who has retreated to a small-town risk further damage to his name by being an accomplice? OPINION – If there was a romance between the two, that may be a driver for his actions.
Take care.
