“The gripping series takes viewers on a journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when one of its own is suspected of a crime,” reads Apple TV+’s season one synopsis. “The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Turow’s novel was previously made into a feature film in 2008, directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, and Greta Scacchi.
