Paradise Marred

Top-flight criminal attorney, David Armstrong, takes on the case of a man kidnapped from Mexico by the FBI and returned to San Francisco to be charged with the murder of his wife nine years earlier. While David rails against the FBI's illegal actions in court, his lover, Felicia Bates-Baxter, California's senior U.S. Senator, attacks the President and his Administration for the usurpation of our civil rights in the wake of 9/11. The twin causes of David and Felicia require them to put their careers, and maybe even their very lives, at risk.
