A former Dallas football star lies in a coma after heart surgery. When his family sues alleging gross negligence millions of dollars and reputations are at stake.

Kristen Kerry is surprised when she is assigned to the defense team--until she learns that her job is to entice the doctor's lawyer notorious womanizer Michael Stern into a joint defense then double-cross him during trial. At the same time Stern plans on backstabbing Kristen--after he has gotten what he wants.

Unknown to either of them Stern has made an enemy of a partner in his firm willing to enlist a murderer to extract revenge on both Kristen and Stern. Only Kristen--with her access to hospital records--can identify the killer and save Stern from the death penalty.
