called The rain Maker, based on the John Grisham best
selling novel of nineteen ninety five. The Rainmaker premiered last
month on USA Network and it's the story of a
young lawyer working for a high class, white collar firm who,
on his first day on the job, is fired simply
because he has a conscience and raises a question. He

working for a rather ceed ambulance chasing firm. The Rainmaker
is the exciting story of an attorney who hits rock
bottom and then finds himself facing off against his former
employer in a court case, a wrongful death suit. John

prestigious law firm Tinley Britt And like the Grisham novel,
