Description
Talon Winter, one of the Pacific Northwest's most feared civil litigators, has been wrongfully terminated by her high-priced law firm for refusing to follow an unethical order. She is forced to reinvent herself and recalls the only time she truly enjoyed being a lawyer - defending a fellow tribal member accused of murder. Forced out of her old practice, Talon decides to strike out on her own as a criminal defense attorney. Her first client, Michael Jameson, a successful husband and father charged with a 25-year-old cold case murder, presents a complex challenge. As Talon navigates the legal system, she must confront her own doubts about justice and the true nature of her client's guilt. With her old law firm, condescending prosecutor, reluctant witnesses, and even her own client to contend with, Talon must fight for justice in a system that may not always reach back far enough.
