Susan Sorella is a tough criminal defense lawyer in Boston. She doesn’t always play by the rules. The FBI agents and cops pitted against her don’t either. When danger threatens, she calls on her friend Boston mob boss Frank Romano for reinforcements. Susan’s client is facing first degree murder charges for the death of a major league baseball umpire. Witnesses say the defendant objected to calls against the Red Sox and screamed “Kill the Ump!” Not uncommon in Boston bars, but nasty evidence when the murder weapon is found in the defendant’s garage. He has no alibi because he’s suffering from dissociative amnesia for the night of the murder. To make things worse, Susan starts falling for the good-looking homicide detective in charge of the case, saddling her with an ethical dilemma. Bodies pile up while Susan follows a dangerous trail through the streets of Boston and along the beaches of Tampa Bay, hunting for someone else who might have pulled the trigger. She unearths a steroid conspiracy that might be linked to major league baseball, but on the eve of trial she still doesn’t have a suspect other than her client to offer to the jury.
