But the dreams he once had of college and a career in law are now out of his reach, and the once well-liked, respectful young man has seemingly grown embittered. Meanwhile, shortly after his release, his accuser, Laura Shay, is found dead in her apartment - brutally and mysteriously murdered.Chicago Police Detective Jeremy Ransom draws the investigation of Laura Shay's murder.
