The video depicts a legal battle where Catherine, a female lawyer, faces intense sexism from her male counterpart, Richard Foster. Foster, who is representing the opposing party, belittles Catherine by questioning her competence and disparaging her emotional nature, implying that women are not fit for serious legal work. Despite his arrogance, Catherine remains determined to win the case, which involves a sexual harassment claim against a powerful figure, Mr. Turner.
In court, Foster challenges the authenticity of crucial evidence presented by Catherine, including a video of the harassment incident. The judge, influenced by Turner's considerable sway, dismisses the video and shows bias against Catherine's witnesses. Facing this unfair treatment, Catherine struggles to keep the case alive, with the possibility of losing her career if she fails.
A breakthrough comes when a whistleblower, Turner's assistant, provides Catherine with critical evidence of illegal campaign donations that influenced the judge. Using this evidence, Catherine manages to get the judge removed from the case, leading to a new judge allowing the video evidence into the record. The case proceeds to trial, and Turner is found guilty, resulting in a significant monetary award for the plaintiff.
Catherine uses the money to start a legal aid foundation for victims of sexual assault. Despite being offered a prominent position at her former firm, Catherine chooses to leave due to their lack of support for her principles, instead accepting a role with the new foundation and looking forward to fighting for justice on her own terms.
