Daniel has discovered who killed his parents. Although grateful, Daniel's grandmother wants no revenge and expects Daniel to seek clemency for her daughter's killers, thrusting Daniel into the awkward role of witness for the defense. At the same time, Daniel is anxious to show that his parents were not responsible for Luke Fisher's death which triggered the revenge killings.
Mark Freeman, CEO of Freeman Engineering the MaDNet prime contractor, also wants to know who killed Luke, a member of the "Freeman Family." However, instead of building on Daniel's recent success and momentum, Mark Freeman hires a professional detective and then asks for Daniel's cooperation in the investigation. Pulled in several directions at once, Daniel must rely on his instincts to address the trial, another cold case, and some dangerous adversaries. Seemingly way overmatched, Daniel receives help from an unexpected quarter under surprising circumstances.
