A LAWYER ON TRIAL (aka MY KILLER LAWYER)

At the heart of this extraordinary story is a North American first: a lawyer accused of murdering his own client. Set in the quiet town of Kamloops, B.C., the story unfolds like a thriller—but it’s all true: a scheme to illegally hide $774,000 spirals out of control, a desperate lawyer bungles a gruesome cover-up, and a suburban community is shaken by an unthinkable betrayal.

What begins as a single homicide investigation expands into a deeply unsettling portrait of betrayal, greed, and psychological manipulation. Years earlier, the two men conspired to hide nearly a million dollars during a divorce—sealing a toxic relationship built on secrecy and leverage. When the money ran out and pressure mounted, violence followed. Blending real-time courtroom access, intimate interviews, and stylized recreations, A Lawyer on Trial explores what happens when the justice system’s most sacred bond becomes the perfect cover for murder.
