A legal firm is hired by several members of a small town whose children have gotten leukemia due to probable toxic waste from several large companies in their locale. Jan is a lawyer, a partner in a four-partner legal firm, who takes on the case with tenacity, running up huge expenses and threatening the existence of the firm. The dreary atmosphere shows how depressing the story really is.
Unfortunately, the firm has bitten off more than it can chew, and in the end the plaintiffs are forced to accept a settlement which displeases the families and puts the firm out of business. End credits reveal that one of the defendant companies would be closed down after having given false statements in court, but the damage was done.
