He is full of love for his wife, their family and bohemian lifestyle. He is also in love with Pauline, a solicitor's runner. The more frustrated he becomes with the world around him the more besotted he becomes with Pauline. The law courts give way to love in the afternoon. When Pauline cools, Wallace overheats and his life ends in turmoil. Like his clients, he is forced to plead guilty to letting his life spiral out of control. it will appeal to lawyers and anyone who has ever been involved with the criminal justice system.
