Broken Scales

Anthony Springs is a young black man living the American dream. He has a loving wife, a beautiful home in an affluent neighborhood, and is a successful Assistant District Attorney. But the reality of America hits home when he is held at gunpoint by a local cop. A few miles away, Janet Montgomery, a newly promoted police sergeant, is on a routine call that turns into the shooting death of Caleb Rivers, the teenage son of an immensely powerful local businessman. Anthony and Janet's lives intertwine when Anthony chooses to defend her instead of prosecuting her. In the weeks that follow, they will encounter racism, lost evidence, and legal and political manipulations as they urgently seek to balance the scales of justice.
