When a state governor and the co-owner of a skydiving company die during a jump, Bull helps the co-owner's brother, Max Hyland, and daughter fight a lawsuit filed by the governor's widow by trying to find who sabotaged the parachute. Also, Bull and his frequent trial collaborator, Liberty Davis, find themselves on opposing sides in court for the first time.

Bull and Chunk's bond is tested when Bull helps the prime suspect in the murder of Chunk's fashion mentor, Nella Wester, a model-turned-designer who was killed during her own runway show.
