Synopsis:

When a woman attempts to kill her uncaring husband, prosecutor Adam Bonner gets the case. Unfortunately for him his wife Amanda (who happens to be a lawyer too) decides to defend the woman in court. Amanda uses everything she can to win the case and Adam gets mad about it. As a result, their perfect marriage is disturbed by everyday quarrels...

Happily married lawyers Adam and Amanda Bonner find themselves on opposite sides in the courtroom after Doris Attinger is charged with the attempted murder of her philandering husband Warren. For Adam, an assistant district attorney, it's a straightforward case: the facts aren't in dispute and Doris took a shot at her husband after she caught him with his girlfriend. Amanda on the other hand takes a different view arguing that women are treated differently than men in the courts and that Doris should be set free. They do their best to keep their courtroom battles in the court and not at home but it eventually leads to a raucous family situation.

Married lawyers Adam and Amanda Bonner find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom in this comedy. Adam is prosecuting a high-profile case in which a woman is accused of trying to murder her philandering husband. Amanda acts as her defense attorney, and the sparring begins.
