Adapted from a sensational real-life case in 2013, the intricate story begins when a young man partners with his friend to murder and dismember his parents. Pleading not guilty, the defense attorneys soon turn on each other, as the defendants play the devil and idiot game. Meanwhile, heated debates emerge inside the jury room, where nine jurors grapple with the truth.

Many lines and scenes up for interpretation, many ways to understand the portrayal of each character - evidence of the depth that the movie was able to bring the audience to explore.
