To Jack Nolan, young Danny is like a son. Despite Danny's rough start in life, Jack saw potential in the boy that few others did and encouraged Danny to pursue dreams he never imagined he could achieve. But an anonymous letter about his long absent father makes Danny question everything. Can he really rise above his background or is his future set in stone? Jack is a lawyer at the top of his game and there is nothing he wouldn't do for Danny, who helped him many years ago, as a mere child. But the move Jack uncovers, the more he sees his chances of winning his first criminal case slipping through his fingers. With time and mounting evidence stacked against them, Jack and Danny negotiate a web of lies and deception, Danny's dread that history will repeat itself and Jack's fear that he is in way over his head. Can they actually uncover the truth and, more importantly, will their friendship survive the ordeal?
