In the home offices of the city's wealthiest the legal system is becoming obsolete. All that is needed to fill the roles of judge, jury, and executioner is a single lawyer, a detective, and a mercenary.
From the newest on the scene all the way to the city's top government officials no one is safe from attempts at fixing the broken system. Detective Calina Wheger had always believed the most important aspect of the law was the gray area. Flexibility was necessary for justice. When a new partnership enables her philosophy, it leaves her engulfed in a fantasy world of unsung heroes and where nothing could ever bend enough to break.
However, reality returns when Calina realizes that the people she has deemed murderers are indeed unlikely suspects. Now caught up in a dead man's decade long game she must return to the people she had sworn off to save her life. One death is a tragedy. A million deaths are simply population control.
