When his popular hip-hop artist client is blackmailed, Crang stumbles on a porn operation and an unexpected case of murder.

Crang is a smart-talking criminal lawyer who doesn't mind chasing down unorthodox cases. That makes him just the guy to represent a famous hip-hop performer who's on the wrong end of a blackmail scheme. It doesn't strike Crang as a confounding case, but in no time, he finds himself confronting an organized gang that deals in porn, stock swindles, and murder. Things get so messy that Crang decides he'll have to bend the law to make things right. It's a dilemma that would cause other lawyers to back away, but not Crang, the nervy attorney with the fast mouth.
