Ellice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a for fun relationship with a rich, charming executive, who just happens to be her white boss.
But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice arrives in the executive suite and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head.
And then she walks away like nothing has happened. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets, including a small-town past and a kid brother whos spent time on the other side of the law. She cant be thrust into the spotlightagain.
But instead of grieving this tragedy, people are gossiping, the police are getting suspicious, and Ellice, the companys lone black attorney, is promoted to replace her boss.
While the opportunity is a dream-come-true, Ellice just cant shake the feeling that something is off.
When she uncovers shady dealings inside the company, Ellice is trapped in an impossible ethical and moral dilemma. Suddenly, Ellices past and present lives collide as she launches into a pulse-pounding race to protect the brother she tried to save years ago and stop a conspiracy far more sinister than she could have ever imagined.
