The Best Interest

Nick Barnett, 41, small-town divorce lawyer, divorced himself and is trying to cope with being an every-other-weekend dad to his teenage daughter. His life changed when he agrees to represent the beautiful Livinia "Livie" Taylor in a bitter divorce and custody battle against her wealthy husband, Dr. Daniel Taylor, over their three year old daughter.  At first, Nick is confident of prevailing in the custody fight.  But as he learns more about Livie's past and discovers what she may be capable of, Nick is put to the ultimate choice: betray his own client or zealously continue to represent Livie and put lives at risk.
