Brand-new lawyer Michael O'Brien has no clue the case his law firm handed him is a total loser. That's because he would rather chase women, play basketball, or do almost anything other than practice law. O'Brien is struggling with the drudgery first-year associates face, especially since it's the swinging '70s in San Francisco.He's just too good-looking, easily bored, and cocky to care.

As missteps accumulate, and practicing law becomes dangerous O'Brien risks losing his job, his girlfriend, and even his life.
