We are introduced to 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 checked by a heart attack that exposes his ongoing messy personal life.
Main character well defined, good script, different, enjoyable.
