James Drinker, a bit of an oddball, walks into Jason Kolarichs office one day with a preemptive concern: two women have recently been murdered seemingly by the same killer and Drinker thinks he will be the police's main suspect. One woman was his ex girlfriend he says and the other was a friend. He is the only link between the victims and he has no alibi for the night of either murder surely the police will realize it soon. Believing he's the target of a frame up, Drinker hires Kolarich for his defense. As he begins to probe his clients life and story more closely it quickly becomes clear that nothing about James Drinker is what it seems and that the target of the frame up isn't Drinker but Kolarich.
