Assistant Attorney General Marianne Melone, along with her three best friends, leaves an off-limits mob bar in the wee hours of the morning and sees an SUV barreling down the road. Almost in front of them, a bloody body is tossed from the car. They leave the crime scene by justifying that they can offer no pertinent information. Marianne's powerful boss discovers her deception and fires her. A devastated Marianne is comforted by her friends as they promise to work toward her reinstatement.

Left on her own, Marianne uncovers a complicated trail of drugs, sex and murder that leads to a very distinguished private college. The dean offers her a job as the college attempts to thwart the investigation. Marianne does a balancing act as she's caught between two powerful men with their own agendas to use her as a pawn. Unable to trust anyone, even a hunky ex-cop who's shrouded in mystery, Marianne races to find the killer before he strikes again.
