Defense attorney Ellie Vance takes the case of Daniel Sterling, accused of murdering Councilman Thorne. She soon discovers Sterling is guilty, but was coerced. The real motive wasn't Sterling's failed project dispute; Thorne had unearthed proof of a massive corporate fraud involving faked geological surveys for the OmniCorp tower, implicating Sterling from years ago and OmniCorp's powerful CEO, Alistair Finchley. As Ellie investigates, she realizes Thorne was silenced to protect Finchley and OmniCorp.
