the DVD - High Crimes
Claire Heller Chapman has the perfect life. She's a
Harvard law professor and a high-profile criminal defense
attorney known for taking on—and winning—tough cases. But
one day this perfect life is shattered when her husband Tom
Chapman is suddenly arrested by a team of government agents
and accused of a brutal crime he insists he didn't commit.
As Claire finds herself drawn closer into a web of duplicity
and shadowy figures, she discovers that her husband is not
who he says he is…that he once had a different name…even a
different face.
Now Claire must put her reputation on the line to defend Tom in a top-secret court-martial. As she searches for the truth, she begins to unravel an insidious, high-level government conspiracy that threatens not only her career but also her life, and the lives of her loved ones. All the while, she struggles to maintain her belief in her husband's innocence—even when all the evidence seems to indicate that he is a cold-blooded murderer.
With its vivid characters, razor-edge suspense, and an irresistible narrative force, High Crimes will seize you from the first page and hold you spellbound to the last.
