When those you love abandon you, when you feel persecuted, when your family is attacked, when you haven't a friend in the world if your secret is discovered, then you go through the hell Denise James goes through in this heist-caper of intrigue and double-cross. For her role in a drug raid arrest, Denise James is declared a hero by the media. While she enjoys newfound fame, raises her children, pursues a career, and performs amateur magic tricks for children at charity events, a federal task force headed by Special Agent Eric Kludge closes in. Kludge wants forfeiture of $3,150,000 in drug money he knows she has. Denise responds to the investigation with a barbed tongue, inciting Kludge and his task force to use any means to put her in prison. Her attorney tells her it doesn't matter whether she's guilty or not; what matters is whether she gets incarcerated, and if so, for how long. The authorities close in. Denise is driven to the edge of sanity and wit, finally going to trial for a crime she knows she committed. Then come the drug dealers.
