Narrado por: Richard DeSteno

Lucius Bunk is a detective for the Las Vegas Metro Police. He is assigned a homicide case involving the murder of a casino blackjack dealer, that he has found very difficult to solve. He has been unable to obtain any substantial evidence against his main suspect. He seeks legal guidance from a friend and colleague of his, a blind woman Assistant District Attorney, Marlena Moreno. She provides him sage advice from both legal and ethical perspectives. Thereafter, he meets with her periodically as his investigation progresses, and she continues to guide him through the legal and ethical challenges that he faces.

Meanwhile, Marlena is presented with her own challenges involving her derelict sighted brother who regularly asks her for financial support. Her generosity comes back to haunt her as it leads to a dramatic conflict between her brother and her long-term sighted boyfriend, which plunges her into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions. Ultimately, Marlena guides Bunk to a successful conclusion of his case as she copes with her own emotional stress.
