Dale Masterson, a wealthy lawyer who has become successful representing the interests of oil and coal companies, has enemies--including his own son, Brandon, an eco-warrior who hates everything his father stands for. When Dale is brutally murdered in his lavish home, Brandon confesses to the crime, and veteran attorney Amanda Jaffe is hired to represent him. However, what seems like an open-and-shut case quickly begins to unravel. Amanda suspects Brandon may not be telling the truth... but if he didn't kill his father, who did?
