Miami attorney Jack Swyteck returns, and this time he's handling a case that starts with a murder on a military base, and concludes with a shocking surprise that will change Jack's life forever.
A beautiful woman comes to see criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck and begs him to represent her. She says she's about to be arrested for the murder of her husband, an officer stationed at Guantanamo Bay. having no expertise in military law and sensing that the woman isn't telling him the entire truth, Jack turns her down. Then she drops a bombshell: she claims she's the adoptive mother of Jack's biological son - a child he's never met. Either Jack must represent her or he'll never see the boy.
So jack takes the case, with great foreboding. He has an unreliable client - a blackmailer who just might be a murderer - and he has to travel to Gitmo and on the Havana to tussle with people who clearly have a lot to hide. This is a case with as many twists and turns as it has unanswered questions, and Jack may have to confront his own son on the witness stand before he can learn the truth.
