In Akron, Ohio, Richard Beasley gains the ear of the most powerful and the faith of the most vulnerable.

A twist of fate provides him the opportunity to purchase a home that he puts to nefarious use.

Amy, a familiar face at the Summit County Jail, falls prey to Beasley’s scheme. But she ultimately makes a courageous choice that she hopes will bring him to justice.
