Synopsis: Judge Armanda "the Coconut" Acosta is
arrested on charges of soliciting a prostitute in a sting operation for
"johns," and few -- including attorney Paul Madriani, who has a long
history of enmity with the judge -- are sympathetic. When the young
female decoy who snared the judge is found brutally murdered, Acosta is
the prime suspect.
Abandoned by his friends, Acosta asks Paul to save his career from
impending doom. Paul is reluctant, but when Acosta's original defense
lawyer is forced off the case by a zealous district attorney looking
for revenge, Paul steps forward to defend the judge. With his client
now charged with murder, Paul faces the most daunting, disturbing, and
complex case of his career.
