Law professor Thomas Jackson McMurtrie literally wrote the book on
evidence in the state of Alabama. But when a power-hungry colleague uses
a recent run-in between McMurtrie and headstrong student Rick Drake to
end his career, he is left unsure what to do next.
Meanwhile, a devastating trucking accident in Henshaw, Alabama, leaves a
young family dead. Drake, now a fledgling lawyer, takes the case against
the freight carrier and soon begins to uncover the truth behind the
tragedy that is buried in a tangled web of arson, bribery, and greed. On
the eve of the trial and with his case unraveling in the midst of a
dangerous cover-up that threatens to silence his star witnesses, Drake
realizes that only his estranged mentor, Professor McMurtrie, can help
him now.
With everything to lose and only justice to gain, will McMurtrie and
Drake overcome bad blood to defeat a ruthless adversary? Can the
Professor turn back the clock and recover all that he's lost?
