A shocking confession. A prolific killer. A legal minefield.

Mark Bauer and Allee Smith thought defending James Innis on a simple charge would be straightforward. But when he confesses to a murder, it’s clear that this case will be anything but easy. Bound by the law, they can't expose him, even when he leads them to the body. Desperate to escape the ethical trap they've fallen into, Mark and Allee search for a loophole to report him, weighing the options of dropping the case or outright defying the rules. But every move they make seems to pull them deeper into his sinister game, and Innis’s chilling arrogance shows them just how dangerous he truly is.

When another victim mysteriously disappears, their ethical dilemma escalates. With each disturbing clue, the full scope of Innis’s plans becomes clear: he’s orchestrating Mark and Allee’s every move, and no one in their lives is safe.

Upholding their professional ethics may come at a price too steep to pay, as the cost begins to threaten not only their careers but the lives of those they love.

Will they break the law to stop a murderer… or risk becoming his next victims?
