Eric McKegney is a former attorney who lost his fiance in a suspicious automobile accident days before his wedding. He turned to the bottle, so soon his personal injury firm was likewise gone. Now months later, with limited options and having drunk most of his savings, it's time to get back into the legal game.
He accepts an offer from a prestigious firm, Donaldson, Clements, Blaine and McGraw, to investigate a highly-publicized case defending local tech whiz kid, Jameson Gradeen. Despite not being an investigator, Eric joins the firm's Dream Team, headed by the Managing Partner, J. Tyler McGraw and managed by the firm's ice-princess litigator, Jillian Stennet.
Working closely with Jillian, Eric begins to connect the case's dots in a way which weakens the firm's defense case while making Eric a liability to
Gradeen. There also seems to be parallels between this investigation and his fiance's accident.
This new evidence also places McGraw and Gradeen in opposition. Could this be why Eric was hired in the first place? But where's the logic in that? And which should Eric fear more? The firm or the firm's client?
Eric has suspected all along Gradeen is not who he pretends to be, but could the same be true about McGraw and his motives? And where does this
leave Jillian?
As the ice-princess begins to thaw toward Eric, where do her loyalties lie while everything is happening? Three formidable men are forming a triangle
and she finds herself at its center. Which direction might be her way out - toward the accused, his defense lawyer or the alcoholic ambulance chaser?
