Maybe the only thing keeping them from killing each other is that they're on the same side.It starts with a 300-pound marlin stuck in his front door.

Miamsky právnik Jake Lassiter obhajuje doktora Rogera Salisburyho, chirurga a známeho sukničkára, ktorý je obvinený z nedbanlivosti pri operácii a následnej smrti bohatého Philipa Corrigana. Dcéra zosnulého trvá na tom, že lekár a jej príťažlivá nevlastná matka sa dohodli na vražde jej otca a žiada Lassitera, aby to dokázal. No mimo súdnej siene Lassiter naráža na problémy, ktoré vôbec nečakal – vraždy, zmiznuté osoby, vykrádanie hrobov, zvrátený sex a smrtiace drogy – a zároveň prehľadáva tajomné ulice Miami a tropických močiarov v úsilí nájsť chladnokrvného vraha.

Do floridských močiarov Everglades sa zrútilo lietadlo spoločnosti Atlantica Airlines s dvesto osemdesiatimi ôsmimi pasažiermi na palube. Nikto z nich haváriu neprežil. Pozostalí zažalujú spoločnosť zo zanedbania bezpečnostných predpisov a prípad sa dostane pred Najvyšší súd Spojených štátov amerických. V stávke sú milióny dolárov. A nielen to... V tom čase nastupuje do tímu čerstvo vymenovaného sudcu Najvyššieho súdu Sama Truitta mladá, ambiciózna právnička Lisa Fremontová. Nik v jej okolí však netuší, že krásna a inteligentná Lisa má za sebou minulosť, o ktorej sa v jej životopise mlčí. Dávno predtým, ako sa stala právničkou, pôsobila ako striptérka v sanfranciskom nočnom klube Tiki. A dávno predtým, ako sa Sam Wanaker stal prezidentom leteckej spoločnosti Atlantica, bol bohatým dobrodincom, ktorý Lise pomohol vyštudovať. Teraz ju žiada, aby splatila svoj dlh. Lisu čaká ťažká úloha - musí získať na stranu Atlanticy zásadového sudcu Truitta.
