In the high-stakes world of college admissions, rich parents will pay a fortune to secure their children's futures. But when Kip Lassiter is caught providing perfect scores for a hefty fee, the price becomes much higher than anyone imagined.
Enter Jake Lassiter, the defender of the downtrodden, who finds himself in the unenviable position of representing his own nephew. Charged with fraud, Kip's future hangs in the balance, and Jake knows this case could be unwinnable. But family is family, and blood is thicker than court rules—even when those same rules govern Jake's own legal practice.
What makes this case even more challenging is Jake's own deteriorating health. Dr. Melissa Gold, his devoted fiancée, watches helplessly as his symptoms of brain damage grow worse with each passing day. Yet she stands by him, providing the strength he needs to navigate the grueling trial ahead. Their relationship becomes both his anchor and his vulnerability as the courtroom battle intensifies.
As the trial unfolds, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested, and the line between right and wrong blurs. Jake must use every legal trick in his arsenal to defend his nephew, all while concealing his own medical condition from the court. The tension builds with each passing witness, each piece of evidence, until the courtroom reaches a fever pitch that could change everyone's lives forever.
