For Boston lawyer Dan Kardon, life is looking good.  He's found a great woman in Jenny Crane, his colleague and lover, and his fledgling solo practice it taking off.  When Jenny suggest he represent her old college friend, saavy entepreneur Jerome Mann, it seems like an obvious win.  Jerome and his cousin, Daryl, a rising pro basketball star, have millions to pour into a brilliant real estate venture and Kardon wants in on their game. Kardon soon discovers, though, that a slew of malevolent opponents will do anything to block the Manns-even murder.  When Jerome suddenly turns up dead with Daryl the leading suspect, Kardon had to go one-on-one with a killer who had no intention of playing fair.  With the clock winding down and his own life now in jeopardy, the maverick investigator must go full press to beat this deadly rival...before he loses his own life, too.
