When a powerful movie producer attacks, and then fires, his young female assistant, Maureen sets out to make things right.
Enter defense counsel and Maureen's estranged father, Frank Gould, a man more evil than his client. Inside and outside of the courtroom, Frank pulls every dirty trick known and makes up a few of his own.
To win justice for her client Maureen must defeat her father and free herself from her past.
Secrets trap the shamed with the guilty. Truth will set them free.
