Dean Alessi is an attorney in Buffalo's Lawyer Disciplinary Office who fights for justice, even as he battles his own personal demons. Dean took an oath to protect the public from bad lawyers, and is willing to risk everything to keep that sacred promise. As the bodies pile up, Dean puts his own life on the line when he disobeys orders to expose a corrupt District Attorney who has committed the ultimate ethical wrong - murder.
