Scot Anthony, a young a lawyer on the cusp of making partner at a major Dallas law firm, faces the biggest crisis of his young career:  Someone is killing off the witnesses in his lawsuit with the federal government.  The only way to smoke out the killer is to force the case to trial, even if that means sabotaging reasonable settlement efforts – but the trial is aborted in mid-stream when two more witnesses are killed.  Trying to put the case behind him, Scot and his wife take an impromptu vacation to Maui, only to discover that they’ve been followed there by the killer, who is tying up loose ends – and Scot is the last loose end.
