Now working as a criminal defense attorney in Oakland, Leo Maxwell thinks he's found a new client after a mysterious woman knocks him off his bicycle with her car. She just so happens to have a brother who needs defense on a murder charge. Leo readily agrees and dives right into the investigation. After taking a series of photographs that seem to blow the lid on corruption in the police department, Leo quickly discovers he's been had. His client already has representation-one of Oakland's most renowned gangland lawyers-and claims he doesn't have a sister. Drawing the ire of criminals and crooked cops alike, Leo is soon framed for murder. Just as he thinks he's getting closer to the truth, danger is getting even closer.
