He has waited for this moment.
He has planned his every move.
He has made it onto the jury in the most explosive trial of the century.

Now, while a corporate empire hands in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode, in a cross fire of greed and corruption--and with justice fighting for its life...
