Phoenix, Arizona, 1973. A beautiful woman, armed with a gun and accompanied
by her twelve-year-old daughter, enters a house. Shots are fired. The woman and
her daughter leave the house. Inside, her husband lies dead.
The case seems open and shut. The cops, the attorney general’s office, and the
media are certain the woman is guilty. The only witness to the shooting is in a
catatonic state and cannot testify.
When the legendary criminal attorney, Dan Morgan, takes on the case, it’s to win,
no matter what the odds. But for Morgan and his young protégé, there are no
easy answers, only mysteries, and the question of innocence and guilt takes on a
profound new meaning.
