Castor Acosta would do anything to win, including participating in a rigged trial, especially since winning means being able to receive illegal gender affirming surgery. Unfortunately, the longer he listens to his opponent the more he can't help but agree with her... Emory Laurent doesn't know she has no chance of winning, especially if her (alleged) kidnapping of a foreign princess and stabbing of the queen ever comes to light. Yet she will stop at nothing to get justice for her father and change her home country for the better. Secrets can't be hidden forever, and eventually even honesty will catch up to these lawvers. When it does, the truth will determine the fate of their country. AKA the love two people have when they've studied the other so thoroughly but still need to keep their hatred to accomplish their most wanted goals.
