Ten days to find answers. Three days to stop a killer. Zero room for error.
When renowned defense attorney Judson Witherspoon—a man comfortable operating in legal shadows—approaches blind PI Steve Smiley, he comes with an impossible deadline. Ten days to prove his client, the son of a Russian crime boss, didn’t murder an ice house owner. After that, Witherspoon hints, other “arrangements” will secure his client’s freedom.
Smiley takes the case with one non-negotiable condition: he’ll follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it proves the lawyer’s client is guilty. But as he and his partner dig into the case, they uncover a web of suspects—business rivals, the victim’s wife, and numerous family members who all wanted the ice house owner dead.
Just as Smiley begins piecing together the truth, the lawyer unleashes his ultimate leverage—a kidnapping that turns the investigation into a desperate countdown. His new ultimatum cuts like ice: crack the case in three days, or an innocent life is forfeit. Racing against a merciless clock, Smiley must rely on his razor-sharp senses to cut through the web of deception. Every false lead wastes precious hours, while somewhere a killer watches and waits.
