Janet Harrison is the number one reporter at Channel Ten News. She is also the go to woman for every mobster in Chicago. She's their mouthpiece. When they're ready to snitch they come to her and she is more than willing to listen -- anything to put the big fish behind bars.
And she got a big fish: Salvatore “The Lip” Valinci. She also got herself in a whole lot of trouble. She stands before Judge Fernando Gonzales for being in contempt of court for not revealing her sources. But that's not the only trouble she's in.
Judge Fernando Gonzales has his eyes on the beautiful defiant, reporter Janet Harrison. She's facing contempt charges because she won't reveal her sources. Judge Gonzales wants to punish her in more ways than one.
However, things aren't going so smoothly. “The Lip” is released on a technicality, and wants to even the score. If they work together, Janet and Fernando may survive the threat of death, but can they survive their unconventional relationship?
