Upon realizing his rich and influential client is guilty of murder, lawyer Lawson Russell refuses to represent him, and asks the judge to take him off the case. The judge refuses, and forces him to represent his client. So, Lawson calls him to the stand, and asks him questions that make the judge get him off the trial.

Not just that, based on the saying "no good deed goes unpunished", Lawson is disbarred for refusing to represent a guilty client and trying to keep him out of jail!

 

13 months later, he is offering boat rides to people and is fighting to keep his family's houses,as he's out of money.

 

He befriends an old man, who hates lawyers, and who says he wrote a novel, hearing Lawson wants to write a novel,and gives him the manuscript to read.

 

When he wants to return it, Lawson is being informed by a cop that the old man died, and all of his possessions will go to the state,so he doesn't return it. Not just that, he pretends he wrote it.

 

The book is a hit, and someone with good intentions ( aka the k!ller) sends a copy of the book to a detective who is working a case about a series of murders of lawyers,murders which happened in the exact same way they were described in the book!

 

The police think him guilty, so he escapes when they try to book him, and starts researching the old man.

 

This is one of my favorite movies, it's very well put together, very good plot, the actors are great, especially Mark Pellegrino who plays the drama teacher .

The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the music.

 

The title of the movie comes from the novel the old man wrote, which is how a group of crows is called and also, crow apparently is a name for lawyers.

 

Viewer discretion is advised as it contains nudity and adult language.

 

The movie is streaming on Freevee Amazon Channel, Redbox, Tubi Tv, Vudu Free, and is for rent or sale on Amazon, Apple, DirecTv, Google, YouTube.
