Senate confirmation of a Presidential nomination; case fixing involving prosecutors and defense attorneys; a corrupt Congressman, and multiple murders. They don’t appear to be related, but facts can be deceiving.
To save U.S. attorney Graham Brochette’s nomination to a position he covets, attorney Lucius White must save his son from charges of cocaine dealing and suspicion of a murder committed with Brochette’s gun. Many powerful people want White to fail, and they are willing to kill to achieve their goals. White’s search for the truth engulfs him in a web of deception which culminates in the discovery the nothing is as it seems.
