Private Eye Matthew Grace always believes his clients, tries to anyway. That's not easy in a city where almost everybody lies. Grace should know, he's told a few himself - always in a good cause of course. Which is why Grace is no longer a crime scene investigator and why Joshua Parker, the last honest cop in Baltimore, is keeping an eye on him. Parker is waiting for Grace to make one last mistake, for his past sins to catch up with him. In the end, it will be up to Grace to make the right choices, ones that will lead either to a second chance or no chance at all.
