Last month, Gyllenhaal may have beenkicking butts and taking namesin the Florida Keys inRoad House, but inPresumed Innocent, the actor will star as Rusty Sabich, a chief deputy prosecutor who brings his daily fights to the courtroom. The trailer has a dark undertone that can be felt from the very first second as Rusty laments over his experience with love. On the outside, it appears as though Rusty has everything he could want—a good job and a loving family, but as the teaser unfolds, it’s obvious that Rusty is thirsting for something more.
He finds that extra piece of passion in his coworker, Carolyn (Renate Reinsve) and the pair embark on a steamy and lust-driven affair. When Carolyn is murdered, Rusty may not immediately be the prime suspect, but his dirty laundry is one second away from being aired and putting him directly in the line of suspicion.The serieswill take audiences alongside investigators on a thrill ride to uncover who killed Carolyn and uncover the truth about Rusty.
