Two Supreme Court justices have been murdered. A lone law student is on the trail of the truth. An investigative journalist wants her story. Everyone else wants her dead.

Darby Shaw, a law student, writes a report analyzing the possible reasons behind the recent murder of two Supreme Court justices. Her report, at first glance far-fetched, seems to touch on "sensitive" material, so she soon becomes the target of a relentless chase. She survives thanks to the help of a journalist who also wants to uncover who is behind these murders.
