Winston Patrick is having a tough year. Having abandoned his legal career for a life in the classroom, Winston is barely surviving his first year teaching high school law. His students suddenly present him with a human rights issue. A student, Tim Morgan, wants to bring his same-sex partner to the high school prom but the school says no. Torn between his duty to his employer and his duty to his students, Winston reluctantly leads his young proteacute;geacute;s on their first legal quest: suing the school. Shouldering responsibility for leading the cause that takes his student's life, Winston is determined to see justice done. Winston relentlessly pursues the identities of the killer or killers, but the more Winston digs into the life of his slain student, the more he discovers Tim wasn't the soft-spoken, studious, high school student Winston thought he knew. Winston's quest for justice-both criminal and civil rights-could well come at the greatest price-Winston's own life.
