A death row inmate is beaten and suffers amnesia, a psychologist works feverishly to prevent his execution.

Very close, she wants to be the arrogant New Yorker. She is currently a nobody Texan. She is willing to sell people out to get to her own goal. But along the way grows and finds a different meaning to her life. Nothing worth mentioning in the logline.

I'll draft up something with the feedback.

Quick change: the 'is seeking' was wrong, had to change it to 'seeks' :)

Looking to make a name for herself, an arrogant New York lawyers takes the case of a nationally reviled serial killer who, after suffering from amnesia, seeks a stay of execution.?
