From My Bottom Step

When a simple drug bust in the Chinatown section of Boston goes wrong and a cop is killed, attorney Matt Boer–appointed by the court to defend one of the Chinese dealers–uncovers the bogus affidavit and begins to look into a police cover-up. Meanwhile, the other cops involved in the drug bust start to come apart at the seams, slipping into alcoholic and even psychotic behavior to hide some other dark secrets. Boer, a corporate lawyer with little criminal experience, screws up his client’s case, but he gets a second chance to redeem himself by helping to unravel all the other tangled connections in the case.
