When Claire Darrow's new beau, District Attorney Miles Strasberg, introduces her to his younger half-sister, Phoebe, a simple offer of legal help becomes the biggest obstacle of her professional career. Phoebe, a singer who has completed her debut album, thinks that she may have signed away her rights to her ex-producer, who has threatened to burn the recordings. When the producer's body is discovered in his studio, authorities have sufficient evidence and justification to arrest Phoebe. Though Claire has never handled a murder case, Miles cannot fathom trusting anybody else with his adored sibling's fate. Claire sets out to find the truth about the crime alongside Miles.
