Detective Lindsay Boxer faces the ultimate test of her career and personal life after a late-night confrontation forces her to fire her weapon in self-defense. The resulting scandal discredits the police force, divides the city, and shatters a family, leaving Lindsay's entire future hanging on the verdict of twelve jurors.
