Kyle McAvoy is a high-achieving Yale Law student with a promising future until a mysterious group blackmails him using a grainy video from his undergraduate years. They force him to take a high-pressure job at Scully & Pershing, the world’s largest law firm, to serve as an industrial spy. Caught between the FBI and criminal handlers, Kyle must navigate a massive litigation battle involving a multi-billion-dollar military aircraft dispute. He uses his legal access to steal classified documents while desperately searching for a way to outmaneuver the men threatening his career and freedom.
