Tony Middleton has been left to dangle facing extortion and manslaughter charges in Oregon. He has no defense attorney until his mother, Amanda Middleton, has a change of heart. Enlisting the aid of Harry and Jean Morgan, Amanda teams with defense attorney Martin Blaine to push a defense investigation into the allegations against Tony. With help from Detective Sergeant Roy Anderson, Harry Morgan identifies evidence showing events may not have occurred the way they initially appeared. What they find is that murder has leaked through the net of routine police procedure. The result is heartbreaking beyond anything they could have imagined. A few animals kill their young; but when do human families become stone cold murderers?
