Very boring for me. Is about a jury, people affected by tobbaco vs. a tobacco company - Pynex. This company and four others are nervous of losing the jury, because they can lose thousands of millions dollars. The jury is being watched by several people. Both sides will do whatever it takes to win the jury. In the story, there is a guy whose identity is unclear and a mysterious woman who helps one of the sides.
