Description

Wally Lederer and his wife, Meg, are shocked when a chance reunion with a childhood acquaintance leads to Wally being accused of theft. Wally retains Barbara Holloway to represent him and convinces her of his innocence and claims the theft was a setup but he doesn't know why. When Jay Wilkins, the man accusing Wally, is found murdered in his home a few days later, Barbara knows Wally is in even more trouble. He is now a suspect in the murder. As Barbara looks into Jay Wilkins's life she learns he abandoned his first wife, Stephanie, and their two children because the children were an embarrassment to him- his son, Eric, is gay and his daughter, Eve is mentally ill. Jay then married a wealthy widow, Connie, who is nowhere to be found. When Connie's body is discovered in the ocean, her death is ruled a suicide. Connie's friends do not accept that she was suicidal and press Barbara to follow up, which leads to shocking discoveries.
