When a Supreme Court judge commits suicide and his secretary is found murdered, all fingers point to Carl Anderson, a homeless veteran who's deaf and mute. But when public defender Kathleen Riley is assigned to his case, she begins to believe that Anderson may actually be innocent. Juror Eddie Sanger, a Washington lobbyist, agrees, and together the pair begins their own investigation of events.

A courtroom battle transforms into a tense psychological game when a relentless lawyer discovers cracks in the prosecution's airtight case. This legal thriller finds its pulse in the unsettling mystery surrounding a silent defendant and the shadowy motives lurking behind closed doors.
