In no time, Cecil confronts her ex and finds himself flat on the pavement of a Seattle parking lot. Back in Juneau, Priscilla confronts Senator Wilfred Taylor, whom she suspects of conspiring to keep her son away from her, and the senator ends up dead in the stairwell. With Priscilla under arrest for murder, Cecil finds himself not only working on the custody case but reacquainting himself with an old flame, Priscilla's sister, Jane Marie, and locking horns with legendary defense attorney Harrison Teller, who seems to have a finger in every pie.
