To the outside world it looks like Dismas Hardy is finally on top. A managing partner at this thriving newly reorgnized law firm, he's a rain-maker and fix-it guy for clients leery of taking chances in a courtroom - But, what the world sees is a mirage. For beneath the surface bravado and the lucritive dealmaking, Hardy has lost his faith in the law.

Now Hardy's young associate, Amy Wu, suddenly rootless and grieving over the recent death of her father brings the firm a high profile and challenging case: Andrew Bartlett, the 17 year old son of a prominant San Francisco family, has been arrested for the double slaying of his girlfriend and his English teacher. The D.A. wants to try him as an adult, but Wu cuts a deal to keep him in Juvenile court - A deal that she's forced to break.
