Zo and Emily, that is Emily Marinelli, the author of Comfort Sequels: the Psychology of Movie Sequels from the 80s and 90s, venture to the historic city of Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy and the city of brotherly love. The city’s reputation for equality and love are put to the test when one Philadelphian is fired from a prestigious law firm. While his former employers claim that they fired him over his incompetence this man, Mr. Beckett, must prove that he was discriminated against because he was a gay man with AIDS. After several lawyers refused to take his case, Mr. Beckett finds Mr. Miller: a man with questionable ethics with a reputation for filing barratrous lawsuits. For Mr. Beckett, Mr. Miller represents his only chance to be seen as a human being in the eyes of the law.
