Kris Van Kleer returns as an older, wiser, reinvigorated, and much more humble man. After falling not only from the Scales of Justice but likewise from the status of a free man, he lifts himself from the stigma of one labeled an ex-convict to a new and mature image of himself determined to resurrect his career and reestablish himself in the courtrooms of New York City.Standing taller as a family man and teacher, Kris decides it is time to continue his dream of being a better lawyer than he had once been, but this time he is equipped with knowledge of the streets as well as the loving support of a woman who truly believes in him and his return to the courthouse steps.
