Eddie Flynn faces an impossible choice when the FBI corners him in his New York office. They want the former con artist turned lawyer to take on David Child's murder case, but not to win it. The FBI needs Child to testify against his corrupt law firm, and they expect Eddie to deliver him. When Eddie refuses, the agents reveal they possess damaging files on his wife. Eddie accepts the case but believes Child is innocent, despite the mountain of evidence suggesting otherwise. The FBI demands results while Eddie searches for proof of his client's innocence. Time runs short as pressure mounts from federal agents who view Eddie as expendable. His wife faces danger that extends beyond government threats. Eddie must navigate between his legal obligations, his conscience, and the safety of the person he loves most.
