The true story of an aging oil tycoon, once a household name, who hires a Dallas attorney with a new practice to help him recover a lost fortune in West Texas.

In November 2016, 88-year-old T. Boone Pickens--legendary Texas oilman and notorious corporate raider of the 1980s--climbed the steps of the Reeves County courthouse in Pecos, Texas. He claimed he was shut out of the most lucrative oil venture of his career, and he had come to seek justice. Now, in what would be his last business showdown, it would be up to Pickens to persuade a jury of twelve West Texans to take his side.

To lead his legal battle, he turned to an unlikely partner: Chrysta Castañeda, a solo attorney from Dallas and a former Democratic candidate for public office. Though separated by age, politics, ideology, and gender, the two found common ground in their determination to see justice served--and built a lasting friendship along the way.

The Last Trial of T. Boone Pickens is a high-stakes courtroom drama as retold by Castañeda. It's the story of an American business legend in the twilight of his long career and the lawyer determined to help him make one final stand for justice.
