There are bad days, and then there are really bad days. Therapist Dace McKendrick is having one of the really bad ones.

It was tough enough helping her client Joanne deal with the news of her husband's suicide. Then Dace's friend Ginger calls, distraught because her lover jumped off the Lions Gate Bridge to his death. Dace had no idea Ginger was having an affair with a married man, much less Joanne's husband, lawyer Judd Nelson.

As she helps the two women cope with their feelings of guilt over Judd's death, Dace begins to suspect that Judd was murdered. She believes that his death had something to do with a controversial sexual abuse case he was handling - and the clandestine relationship between the victim's father and a partner in Judd's firm.

Dace meets with the victim's new lawyer, Jen Solero, and sparks fly. There's an immediate attraction between the two women, but their opinions are poles apart. Dace is a soft-hearted idealist; Jen a clear-thinking cynic.

When Dace and Jen join forces to investigate Judd's death, each provides a reality check for the other. Their investigation becomes a journey of discovery as they explore their differing values as well as their feelings for each other.

It also becomes a journey toward danger, when they attract the attention of a killer.
