Travis Morgan’s case seems open and shut: a plot to kill his estranged dad, fundamentalist preacher Arlie Morgan, goes awry and his bullet slays an innocent bookkeeper. Two eyewitnesses seal Travis’ fate. But despite damning proof and an accepted hatred of his father, Travis staunchly maintains his innocence.

Beseeched by his anguished mother, veteran defense attorney Barbara Holloway agrees to signify Travis. With the support of her dad, attorney Frank Holloway, and split private investigator Bailey, Barbara reveals a zealot, his ultrarich backers, and unimaginable atrocities. Travis’ case proceeds to trial, and Barbara discovers herself pitted against a complacent legal program and a judge eager to just close the situation and retire. Knowing she must intervene decisively to avoid a conviction, Barbara steps squarely in to the route of risk. Risking her own life, Barbara confronts the killer in order to save Travis’.
