In the labyrinthine bureaucracy of a midwestern U.S. attorney’s office, a seasoned prosecutor stumbles upon a misfiled case from decades ago that exposes a network of corrupt judges fixing verdicts for organized crime syndicates. As she teams up with a skeptical FBI agent haunted by a botched sting operation, they race to unravel the web of bribes, witness tampering, and cold-case murders-dodging internal leaks and mob enforcers-before the statute of limitations expires and the guilty walk free forever.
