Detective Jack Weaver was a rookie patrolman in a strange new town when Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Monica Davis took him under her wing. She showed him the ropes of the Union County justice system, and they became fast friends despite a considerable age difference. Jack, now a detective, is put to the test when DA Monica Davis is brutally murdered. Jack is the only available detective and is given the lead on the case by default. His inexperience and emotional involvement with the case is a handicap in solving the murder, but somehow, Jack has to find the person who killed his best friend.
