A drug bust goes awry in Boston's Chinatown. A police officer is killed. Officers must find the snitch, known only as Cinderella

Fast-paced legal thriller about an inexperienced lawyer who gets in over his head when he takes on a new client, and may be responsible for his client turning up dead after his first court appearance. Seems like the whole City of Boston is a suspect.
