Ambition and intelligence carry Billy Strobe to the top of his law school class and into a stock market scam gone south. After a stint at a high-security prison, he finally takes on the fight of his life: clearing the names of the two men he respects most. One is a soft-spoken lifer he befriended in jail, and the other is Billy's father, the best criminal defense lawyer in Oklahoma, until alcoholism, allegations of fraud, and a suicide on the eve of his imprisonment ended his life. But things are not as they seem, and Billy's dual quest for justice will entangle him in high-level conspiracies and vicious murders, ultimately forcing him to choose between loyalty and protecting a woman he has come to love
