Mot-clé Altar Boy

Martin Vail, brillant avocat de Chicago, aussi soucieux de sa publicité que de son talent, se porte volontaire pour défendre un jeune homme accusé du meurtre de l'archevêque Rushman, un des plus éminents dignitaires de la ville. Aaron Stampler, le présumé coupable, provincial timide et naïf, bénéficiait de la protection de l'archevêque qu'il considérait comme son père. Vail est vite convaincu de l'innocence de son client. Cependant, après certaines révélations troublantes, il sera amené a manipuler et à piéger la partie adverse.

The Altar Boy Gang was a satirical half hour comedy developed for the Canadian television network CBC Television in 2007. Although two episodes were shot and four more were commissioned to be written, the show was not picked up as a regular series. The two pilot episodes of this series written by Norm Hiscock aired on CBC in 2007. The show drew much angry response from Catholic groups who felt its portrayal of altar boys as drug dealing hooligans was offensive. Also the depiction of a Catholic priest who inadvertently ingests LSD was seen as disrespectful. Others enjoyed the shows and saw them merely as character studies of less-than-perfect people finding their way in the world. Kelly Makin, the director of the two pilot episodes, and David Makin, the director of photography, worked with Norm on the television show The Kids in the Hall. Andy Jones, who played the role of Father Sand, also wrote with Norm on the last season of The Kids in the Hall. Dan Redican was the story editor. The song "Soldiers of Christ" by the Canadian band Blood Meridian was the title music for the show.
