In Eagles Landing, California, Assistant District Attorney
Beverly Mendoza has been selected to prosecute a disturbing
case: the brutal murder of a local judge and the rape of
his wife. The defendant, Rafael Santiago, once vowed to get
revenge against the judge for sending him to prison, and
the judge's wife picked him out of a line-up. It seems like
an open-and-shut case. But appearances can be very
deceiving.
At the same time, homicide detective Stone Palmer is
investigating the rape and strangling of a young woman.
Career criminal Manuel Gonzalez is in custody for the
crime, but he pulls the rug out from everyone when he
claims he's the one who murdered the judge. Could it be a
case of mistaken identity? Or two desperate, violent men
out to manipulate and beat the system?
