Synopsis

Carl Trudeau is very unhappy that the Mississippi court system has ruled against his chemical company. His company was accused of dumping toxic waste into the water supply of a small town thus causing a large outbreak of cancer in the community. He proceeds to buy a seat on the Supreme Court by recruiting, manipulating and financing a candidate who he hopes will be sympathtic to his company since he has invested so much in him.
