Danny Chaisson is an up-and-coming prosecutor when Jimmy Boudrieux, his longtime benefactor, a Louisiana political boss, calls in his chit. Chaisson performs as commanded, but resigns from the D.A.'s office to preempt additional collisions of conscience and politics. He stoops to running small-time errands for Boudrieux as a second career, until he narrowly misses being among the body count of a lethal hit on a local restaurant - and he just may have been the main target.
When it looks as if he'll be sacrificed as the fall guy in a complex game of public culpability and political spin, Danny goes on the run. He soon allies himself with Mickie Vega, a woman from the ATF who's also been set up as a scapegoat. The stakes are high and his odds poor, but Danny has a few tricks left to play before he'll be dealt out.
