The man convicted of killing Ethel Reiser sits in Attica, where he will remain for life unless PI Marlowe Black insists on meddling and finds evidence to free him. The convict's sister, Peggy, convinces Black that the near perfect evidence collected by the police, DNA and all, were fabricated to frame her brother, Reggie Jones. Ethel's widower, Perry Reiser, insists that Black not take the case, pulls a gun to enforce his demand.

When Hacker McKaybees interrupts Perry Reiser's enraged confrontation with Marlowe Black, Reiser turns his silenced pistol on McKaybees.

Before he can fire a single shot, Black, buries a .45 caliper bullet in Reiser's chest. Black calls his decision to help free Jones a gut feeling. McKaybees calls it insane. However, Perry Reiser's rash act forces McKaybees to reassess and he agrees to help his estranged father with the investigation.

At times, father and son work as hard at finding common ground, with lots of sardonic humor, as they do solving crime.
