Judge Owen Austin holds a secret. He has time for one more case, but does he want a case that could challenge his core beliefs and and compromise his hard earned reputation? Beautiful wealthy widow, Vicki Taylor, has a cause-revenge against the high school teacher she hold partially responsible for her fifteen-year-old daughter's suicide, but does she want a case that might reveal family secrets? Reservations cast aside, Judge Austin and two gifted trial lawyers explore life's greatest mysteries-are our core values learned or inbred? Is there a caring supernatural creator or are we merely the biological products of a disinterested nature?
