After a young woman is raped and murdered, A.D.A.s Kibre and Gaffney are stymied by a triangle of suspects -- three friends who include a rich boy, a bad boy and the victim's ex-boyfriend Danny. As the prosecutors try to turn one against the other, they wonder who's playing whom. But when Danny seems the least likely to lie, Kibre wants to make a deal with him but she worries he might be manipulating the facts to gain the jury's sympathy.

A.D.A. Kibre faces an obstacle course when she prosecutes a famous pro basketball player Jackson for killing his girlfriend but first she must get past the starstruck grand jury, a legion of fans, a savvy defense lawyer and the player's beautiful trophy wife Tiffany who's determined to hang on to what she's got. Although other women have been assaulted by the defendant, Kibre and Gaffney have a difficult time getting them to testify and new evidence that the victim had previously attempted suicide adds to the complexities of this case.
