In this sequel to Second Chances, the small town of Mason has encountered its first murder, and the town’s prime suspect is a scared teen named Jamal Davis. Attorney Wade Anders steps up to defend Jamal with the help of his assistant, Trey Ross. They are now at odds with family and friends but will not be deterred from proving Jamal’s innocence. Trey is also forced to confront two newly discovered siblings who were never recognized as Ross heirs and resent their rich half brother. A rogue judge disposes of the murder case by denying a trial. Wade and Trey are baffled and desperate to free their client. At the same time, a federal drug investigation links Trey’s half brother to a ruthless drug dealer, and Trey and his sister discover that their brother’s illegal activity includes more than selling drugs when they find evidence linked to the murder case. His sister insists that their brother is acting under duress, and Trey’s loyalties are divided between his family and his client.
