Desperate to hide the disgraceful events surrounding his disbarment, a young attorney is forced to consider a deranged proposition from an aging, vengeful heiress, who is hellbent on protecting her family legacy through the silencing of a local critic.

A young attorney struggles to hide the disgraceful events which led to his disbarment and relocation to an idyllic small town. As desperation mounts, the curious arrival of an unlikely fugitive — an eccentric, septuagenarian heiress — creates an opportunity for personal salvation. All she wants in return is an accomplice in settling a bizarre grudge: silencing a local professor previously critical of her well-known father. The proposition she offers, however, risks not only unraveling the attorney’s life, but shattering the entire town that he’s come to love more than anything.
