Filmmaker Terry London is dynamic, brilliant - and deranged - as Nina Reilly soon discovers when she takes on the case of defending Terry against charges of invasion of privacy for the content of her new documentary. Terry's disturbing film about the ten-year-old disappearance of a local Tahoe woman has brought long-suppressed tensions to the surface, and threatens to expose a murderer who will do anything to stop the film from being released. The filmmaker herself seems to take a perverse pleasure in stirring up the past in dangerous ways - especially Nina's past, about which Terry seems to know an unsettling amount.Nina has a lot of secrets to protect, long-ago events that could threaten the fragile balance of her relationship with her rebellious son, Bobby. Before she can discover just what Terry knows about things Nina wants to keep hidden, the filmmaker is killed and Nina's closely guarded secrets become evidence in a murder case. Making a decision that shocks her family and the community, Nina takes on the defense of the accused murderer - a man she'd known a long time and hoped never to see again. But Nina believes in him - that is, until it becomes clear that if her new client is innocent, someone else she loves must be guilty. Suddenly a simple case turns lethal and Nina finds herself back in court in her most important-and-deadly-case yet.
