A shark among New York lawyers, Henry Turner is a hard-hearted and predatory workaholic, always on the move. Then he walks into an armed hold-up and everything changes. He survives the physical and mental traumas of being shot, but he must painfully relearn how to work his body and then face a wife, daughter and life he no longer remembers. During the course of his unpredictable recuperation, Henry's family begin to realise that things will never be the same - which may not be a bad thing.
