In Jury Duty, a group of jurors are isolated until they all agree on the verdict. The members of the jury have so many different opinions that they cannot even agree on lunch. Cutmore-Scott portrays John "Hutty" Huttman, a charismatic leader and winner in heart and soul. Hutty is not happy that he has been appointed alternative jury member, so he decides to make it fun for himself.
