For 18 years, everything has been going Steve s way. He s a smart and warmhearted young man with wonderful parents, terrific friends, fantastic teachers and a future so bright he really does have to wear shades.
And then, in the span of maybe five minutes, it all falls apart. There s a man lying dead on the floor of his own store, and Steve is accused of being part of the chain of events that led to this tragedy. Now it s up to the courts and a jury to decide his fate.
