Wives Under Suspicion background

Wives Under Suspicion

A lawyer's quest for justice is put to the test as he faces a complex trial that reveals the dark secrets of his own troubled marriage.

Jim Stowell, a successful District Attorney, has a streak of 11 convictions in 18 months. He believes he's cleaning up after crimes, but his obsession with work is affecting his marriage to Lucy. Despite loving each other, Lucy notices a change in Jim's personality when he's working, making him distant and cold. When Jim tries to make amends, he always gets sucked back into work, seeking his next win. His latest case is against Professor Shaw MacAllen, who admits to killing his wife. As Jim delves into the case, he may not see the parallels between Shaw's neglect and his own neglect of Lucy, who's growing disillusioned with their marriage and developing feelings for her cousin's boyfriend, Phil.
