Brenda again tangles with Philip Stroh, suspected rapist / murderer, and with the Johnson Rule now in effect, Pope is watching her every move.
Since the new rule is written in her name, Brenda knows how to legally maneuver around it, and does so.
Pope uses Raydor to put a stop to it, and Brenda becomes more tense at every turn.
The case takes a very different path than Brenda expects, and she soon she finds herself out of moves.
