Fresh from Yale Law, Ben Addison is a new clerk for one of
the Supreme Court's most respected justices. Along with
his co-clerk, Lisa, Ben represents the best of the
fledgling legal community: sharp, perfectionistic, and
painstakingly conscientious - but just as green. So when
he inadvertently reveals the confidential outcome of an
upcoming Court decision, and one of the parties to the
case makes millions, Ben starts to sweat. Big time. Ben
confides in Lisa and turns to his D.C. housemates for
help. They offer their coveted insiders' access - Nathan
works at the State Department, Eric reports for a
Washington daily, and Ober is an assistant to a leading
senator - to help outsnake the blackmailer who holds Ben's
once-golden future hostage. But it's not long before these
inseparable pals discover how dangerous their misuse of
power can be, even when accompanied by the very best of
intentions. And when a suspicious leak develops from
within their own circle, Ben and his friends find
themselves pitted against each other in a battle of
shifting alliances and fierce deceptions that strikes to
the weaknesses in their friendships, threatens to ruin
their careers - and ultimately may cost them their lives.
