Following a political campaign fund-raiser dinner, a highway construction worker gets run down and left fighting for his life in intensive care. High profile Los Angeles attorney, Liz Harper, left the dinner intoxicated and can't remember driving home. When she learns about the hit-and-run victim the next morning, Harper faces the chilling realization she could be the guilty party. Determined to do the right thing, she hires Malone to find out if she was the driver. He discovers her car was involved in the hit-and-run, but believes there is more to the case than meets the eye. Malone investigates several others who left the same event and uncovers an eyewitness to the accident, who then disappears before he can identify the driver for the police. The investigation takes a dangerous turn when someone shoots at Malone at his own home, when it appears he is getting too close to discovering the identity of the hit-and-run driver. As he delves deeper into the case, Malone unravels a web of deception and intrigue where every clue only leads to more questions. With danger lurking at every turn, can Malone uncover the truth before the police arrest and charge Liz Harper? And will the truth prove her innocence or condemn her?
