When a husband is brutally murdered, all fingers point to his wife. But should it?

Angela Ross joined the D.A.’s office right after law school. As a young and ambitious prosecutor, she’s still learning the ropes through trial and error in the criminal courts of New York County.

Enter Memphis Ford, a seasoned and brilliant attorney with a stellar track record of wins and analytical skills to rival any criminal defense attorney. His help and mentorship could be Angela’s salvation.

There’s only one problem.

Angela is assigned to a highly-publicized case that rocks the community. Ellen Wagner, a schoolteacher has been arrested and charged in the brutal slaying of her husband. Angela grapples with the case as the investigation progresses and new chilling information from a tipster sends the case into a wild treacherous tailspin.

In a case that should have been open and shut, the new incriminating evidence unravels a murder that has been buried for seventeen years.

As Angela scrambles to unmask the truth surrounding the 17-year-old murder, it only raises more questions that Ellen Wagner may be innocent after all. The pressure mounts beyond anything the young prosecutor and her mentor could have ever imagined and it doesn’t end there.
