Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of the Drake and Seeney law firm. A step away from partnership he has it all. In an instant it all comes undone.

A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm's plush offices. When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered all over Michael's face. Suddenly Michael is willing to give everything up and become an advocate for justice on the streets.

One break Michael can't make is from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake and Sweeney, from a confidential file now in Michael's hands. Michael's former partners are about to become his bitter enemies.
