After barely surviving the attempt on her life, up and coming attorney Kay Havelin prepares for the most important murder trial of her career. Her client is accused of brutally murdering his wife, and more women are coming forward, alleging other sadistic crimes. Win or lose, Kay plans to come out on top, but she'll have to play a dangerous game to do so.

Officer Reese Milo's investigation of Kay's client is making progress, but he's more suspicious of Kay than her client. Milo starts looking into her shady activities, but his boss makes it clear Kay Havelin is off limits. Going against his orders, he'll have to risk the job he loves if he wants to find the truth and bring the guilty to justice.
