The delta swamplands of South Louisiana are home to both abject poverty and fantastic wealth. Trust is a story of murder, greed, betrayal and the search for the elusive angel of justice.

Attorney Jeb Stuart Johnston is hired by the beautiful Justine Galatas who is the sole heir to a vast fortune which has been under the thumb of a trust controlled and manipulated by unscrupulous businessmen and their lawyers. As Jeb dives deeper into the facts of the case, he uncovers corruption and double dealing which would put Machiavelli to shame. The shadowy entities that control the vast wealth contained in the trust will stop at nothing to maintain their control of the huge fortune, including bribery, intimidation and murder. He soon finds that this case will not be won or lost in a courtroom and he has to use all of his contacts and street smarts to battle what are now his blood enemies.

Jeb crosses the line between lawyer and lover with the beautiful Justine and has to face not only the formidable array of opponents set against him but also his own demons and the ghosts of his past.
