A fatal plunge from a glittering Manhattan ballroom six years ago cast an enduring shadow over Sterling Capital and ruined Ryan's forensic career. Convinced his mentor was murdered rather than negligent, Ryan slips back into the metropolis under forged credentials. He forms an uneasy alliance with Lucas, a principled executive fighting to protect the firm from corrupt director Vance.

Ryan and Lucas stake their freedom on exposing the embezzlement before Vance seizes total control.
