Clay's latest case involves a random street murder; the kind that he has seen, and attempted to dodge, many times before. Clay immediately suspects that something is different with this case. His investigations gain the attention of a mysterious stranger, Max Pace. Pace gives Clay evidence of a dangerous new drug, one that could be worth millions of dollars.

Clay accepts the offer, and with the money he builds a successful mass tort / class action law firm. Within a year, Clay is heralded as the new 'King of Torts' in major newspapers and legal journals. But can Clay, inexperienced in mass tort litigation and unaccustomed to the wealth involved in class-action lawsuits, sustain his spectacular success?
