Amid the flash and din of Boston's raucous
Chinese New Year's celebration, an elderly man is shot while
watching the parade from his window. Anthony Bradley, the son of
an African-American judge, is standing across the street at the
time and is immediately arrested for the crime.
Michael Knight, a young lawyer who's going
places, is surprised when Judge Bradley asks him to defend his
son in such a high profile and politically delicate case.
Luckily, Knight finds powerful support from Lex Devlin, a senior
partner at his firm. Once the foremost criminal defense attorney
in Boston, Devlin has mysteriously withdrawn from defense work
in recent years.
As Knight and Devlin investigate and prepare their client's
defense, Knight is forced to confront the murky allegations that
eclipsed his mentor's career, and enter into the shadow world of
gangland Chinatown.
From the halls of Harvard to the streets of Chinatown, Knight
doggedly pursues an investigation that involves drugs,
prostitution, human trafficking, and a corruption scandal that
could bring down the most powerful people in Boston.
