Military attorney, Captain Tracy Keener, is forced to defend Special Operations officer, Captain Adam Burke: a man accused of leading his team into an active bombing range during a readiness exercise. All of the team members die--and Adam is rendered unconscious. He'd acted, he claims, under direct orders. But had he? His superior officers deny it, and Burke finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that involves chemical weapons--and someone used them against his team. Problem is, no one, not even his attorney, believes him.
