McBride and Phil represent a young man accused of murdering a famous attorney, who also happened to be McBride's mentor. While working the case, he realizes that he may have to expose some of his friend's secrets.

On a quiet street, in a seemingly ordinary home, a horrific crime has occurred, and a fireman and former marine medic is accused of killing his pregnant wife.

When a backstage murder incriminates the winning canine's lovely handler at the annual L.A. Kennel Club Dog Show, McBride tries to keep the accused killer out of jail while finding out who actually committed the murder. It's quite a feat, especially when he keeps getting thrown in the slammer himself!
