The murder of a high-powered law partner sends shockwaves through the city’s political and legal circles, especially when his client list is revealed to be full of prominent government officials. The case immediately becomes a political minefield for District Attorney Nicholas Baxter, putting him in an impossible position.
As the investigation uncovers inconvenient truths, Baxter feels immense pressure from powerful figures to steer the case in a certain direction. He must decide between pursuing justice without compromise and making political concessions that could secure a conviction but undermine the integrity of his office. How far is Baxter willing to bend to the will of the city’s elite to close a case that threatens to expose secrets many want to keep buried?
