Albany-based Attorney Mickey McCoyne built his career getting killers acquitted. The last one walked free and murdered three children before sundown.
Now Mickey is back in South Boston, taking small cases, trying to sleep at night. Then a woman walks into his office and tells him a pharmaceutical company killed her husband. Slowly. On purpose. In the name of a miracle diabetes drug that's about to make billions.
Mickey takes the case. What he doesn't know yet is that the company's largest silent investor is Jocko Flannery, the South Boston crime boss who raised Mickey after his parents died, and who has every reason to make sure this case never sees a courtroom.
Going up against Dexter Pharmaceuticals means going up against the only family Mickey has left. Walking away means letting them possibly get away with murder.
He's done walking away.
