Still, Jude is determined to clear his name and win the approval of his mother -- the district attorney he has not seen since he was an infant.  At the urging of his mother's longtime companion, Jude agrees to a crazy scheme to protect her political future. But what Jude doesn't know is that there are buried secrets that will require him to sacrifice more than he ever dreamed. And his search for approval will turn into one for revenge.
