The Black man dies and everyone hollers their own ideas about what really happened.Seeing a chance to hit big on a settlement, I summon Nancy, a hooligan street-fighter with a lawyer's ticket. This kind of death means cash.Peg is the only witness to the struggle between the drunken man and the cop. If I can run this, I can stop hustling forever.Skip, another lawyer,Black, my nemesis-father figure, always scheming, hijacks Peg for his reward. His bodyguard, Joey, beats me in a fight.The FBI and the radical group SAP -Stop Police Action- jump into this case.
