Mystery
Cal Claxton is determined to reinvent himself as a small
town lawyer in the aftermath of his wife’s suicide. Once a
hardcharging L.A. prosecutor, he now lives in an old
farmhouse overlooking the Oregon wine country. When a
scruffy, tattooed kid shows up asking for help in solving
his mother’s cold case murder, Cal wants to say no. But the
kid, who calls himself Picasso, has ridden a bike from
Portland, and something about his determination touches Cal. It turns out Picasso is a gifted artist. He’s also one of
the legions of street kids who are drawn to Portland’s Old
Town. A reluctant Cal finds Picasso painting a mural on the
side of a health clinic run by an idealistic doctor. Then
Picasso is charged with the murder of a major business
figure. The evidence is overwhelming. Suddenly Cal finds
himself back in the game, pitted against the police, the
media, and some of Portland’s most powerful citizens. Is
Picasso being framed? And if so, is there a connection
between the murder of his mom and this new killing?
