The true story of Mike Bungay QC. A walking disaster to many and a genius to others, he would become one of the most flamboyant and outrageous characters of New Zealand legal history.

Mike finds himself with the case of a lifetime in having to defend Bill Sutch for spying, a case that will propel him to even greater fame as his drinking and personal life begin to take their toll.

Mike's fame grows with a book about to be published and further high profile cases garnering even more attention only to be decked by a heart attack that exposes his ongoing messy personal life.
