The High Ground

Two elderly sisters seek Reggie's representation on behalf of their nephew, a delusional man who believes he is living the Civil War and must defend the South's women from Yankee men, culminating in his killing a man during an assault on a woman. Since no murder is reported at first, Reggie must first determine whether or not her client imagined the murder since attorney/client privilege prevents her from going to the police. It soon becomes clear that he was telling the truth when he confessed – and his mission to protect Southern women from Yankee men is unyielding and dangerous. Meanwhile, Arnie goes over Reggie's accounting and continues to encourage her to stop taking clients who can't pay so she can continue her practice. Meanwhile, Momma Love goes looking for a job and Arnie takes her on as his assistant; while working together, Momma realizes Arnie is in love -- with Reggie.
