THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE...

Assistant DA Kate Stone has just suffered the biggest loss of her career. She'd worked so hard to prosecute a serial assaulter of women, and it was a case she should have won. But a corrupt judge allowed Max James to walk free. When he confronts her outside the courthouse, she punches James, and he goes down hard. After the footage is plastered across every TV screen, Kate's boss demands that she either attend anger management meetings or give up the job she lives for.

CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH.

Begrudgingly, Kate attends her first meeting. Inside is a group of people all failed by the justice system. Their mission: to do everything in their power to help right wrongs, even if outside the law. Unsure who to trust among this unlikely team of renegades, Kate begins to dig into Max James's secret life and her explosive discoveries will lead to a stunning new twist in the case. And turn her into the prime suspect.
