Two days later Michael Malone is charged with the murder of his former estranged wife. He will stand before the court. Blood samples in his dead wife's apartment match samples from Malone's sub-let.
Evidence is mountain high.
His son, Jess, is angry, sullen and straying. Blocking it all out. Malone's law partners and associates disassociate. Malone is on his own. With his divorce lawyer acting as defence attorney and a water-cop buddy running backup and keeping one eye on Jess.
