Notorious lawyer Bill White is at it again. In order to obtain a favorable tax-exempt ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, the ethically challenged lawyer conspires to bribe an IRS official on behalf of his client, a corrupt private foundation engaged in money laundering. After the ruling is issued, the foundation's trustees order the murders of those IRS officials they believe may have extorted their money as an act of revenge.

With the FBI and IRS conducting separate investigations, the individuals who are parties to the bribe come under intense scrutiny. Eventually, the IRS official who was the architect of this scheme will see his assets seized and his tax year terminated, with a perjury charge still looming over his head for lying to federal officials. At the same time, Bill White will find himself being investigated for a murder that he committed thirty years ago.

Although the corrupt lawyer conspired to take only one million dollars from the extortion money that was paid to the IRS official, investigators eventually discover that another offshore bank account contains one and a half million dollars in his name. With Bill White the focus of a criminal investigation for a thirty year old crime and indirectly responsible for the deaths of four IRS officials, he is the target of a tenacious US Attorney who is determined to achieve justice for the victims of the lawyer's unscrupulous actions.
