HE'S WON EVERY TRIAL. BECAUSE HE'S BEHIND EVERY MURDER.
Ambitious District Attorney Randal Korn lives to watch prisoners executed.
Even if they are not guilty.
An innocent man, Andy Dubois, faces the death penalty for the murder of young girl. Korn has already fixed things to make sure he wins a fast conviction.
The one thing Korn didn't count on was Eddie Flynn.
Slick, street smart and cunning, the former con artist turned New York lawyer has only seven days to save an innocent man against a corrupt system and find the real killer.
In a week the Judge will read the verdict, but will Eddie be alive to hear it?
