Billionaire David Child swears he didnt murder his girlfriend, Clara. But the evidence overwhelmingly shows that David killed her: the security video showed no one else entering their apartment, the murder weapon was in his car, and he was covered in gunshot residue he cant explain.

The FBI believes Davids arrest and obvious guilt could help them take down a huge money laundering schemeif they can get him to testify.

Con-artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn is given the job: persuade David to plead guilty and give the agents the evidence they need. If Eddie cant get David to take a plea bargain, the FBI has incriminating files on Eddies wifeand will send her to jail. But David insists that he didnt murder anyone.

As the FBI pressures Eddie to secure the guilty plea, Eddie becomes increasingly convinced that David is telling the truth. With adversaries threatening, Eddie has to find a way to prove Davids innocence and find out if theres any way he might have been framed. But the stakes are high: Eddies wife is in danger. And not just from the FBI…
