No one in Bari wants to represent Martina in her efforts to bring her ex-boyfriend to trial for assault and battery. He is a successful doctor and the son of a powerful and vindictive local judge. Witnesses are suddenly unwilling to testify and Martina has a history of psychological problems. Guerrieri knows this case is likely to bring his legal career to a premature and messy end. But he cannot resist the appeal of a hopeless cause. Nor deny his attraction to Sister Claudia, the fiercely protective young woman in charge of the shelter where Martina is living. Sister Claudia, who usually wears a black leather jacket and jeans, shares Guerrieri's love for martial arts and his outrage at the hypocrisy and corruption revealed by the trial.
