dark emotional mysterious tense

5.0

After rescuing a woman from a bayou late one night, and a dead body discovered near the spot the next day, a Houston lawyer finds himself enmeshed in causes and conspiracies and corruption he wants no part of, his young radical self confronting his cynical present, unwillingly appointed as go-between between a union set to go on strike and the Mayor, but also being followed and threatened and bribed for reasons he can't understand.
