Richard Zimmerman is town counsel for sleepy suburban Park View, New Jersey. Sleepy until the Mafia hatches an underhanded plan to "purchase" McFife part and use the land as the site for a mini mall that will be a front for a host of illegal profits. Before he knows how it has happened, Richard finds himself cornered: he can either go to prison for accepting a Mafia bribe or wear a bug for the FBI.
