## Resource

A supernatural legal thriller titled The Devil’s Advocate, centering on the ambitious young attorney Kevin Taylor. Kevin is recruited by the mysterious John Milton to join an elite Manhattan law firm that maintains a sinister, perfect record of winning cases for the guilty. A prologue illustrates the dark consequences of this "brotherhood" through Richard Jaffee, a firm associate who commits suicide after realizing he sacrificed his family's well-being for professional success. The narrative then shifts to Kevin’s aggressive defense of a teacher accused of child abuse, where he uses psychological intimidation to break a young witness. While Kevin’s ruthless tactics impress an enigmatic observer in the courtroom, they deeply alienate his wife, Miriam. This overview sets the stage for a story about moral corruption and the high price of achieving worldly power.
