Her colleagues coerce her into taking a case marked for the star prosecutor in hopes of securing a future at the D.A.'s office. But the case is far more complicated -- and deadly -- than it first appears. Sara receives a threat on Jared's life if she doesn't win, while forces from within the D.A.'s office conspire to keep her from the truth that will help her succeed. But it gets worse. When Jared is strongarmed into becoming the attorney for the opposition, he is instructed to win the case at all costs or risk Sara's death. In court and at home, husband and wife go head to head while harboring the terrible secret of their motives. In a battle of rollercoaster emotions and painful betrayals, Jared and Sara must face the unthinkable truth: no matter who wins, the other will die.
