When a Chinese immigrant stands trial for the murder of a young woman, Judge Daniel Barr knows that the legal deck is stacked against the defendant. Even the man's court-appointed attorney is incompetent. Now, an ominous suggestion that the real killer is a jury member sends shivers down Barr's spine, and, with the help of a Vietnam vet and former detective, he sets out to uncover the truth.
