TWO GIRLS WALK INTO A DENTIST'S OFFICE ...BUT ONLY ONE WALKS OUT. YET IT'S NO JOKE, AND THERE ISN'T A PUNCH-LINE. Instead, it's the start of another gripping one-of-a-kind case for the quick-thinking, frequently outrageous Tug Wyler, the New York City malpractice lawyer whose clients are as unpredictable as he is. Nelly Rivera, when Tug first sees her, lies helpless in a hospital bed. Once sassy, active and ambitious, she's now a young woman with an uncertain future and a present seemingly tied to dependency. Discovering exactly what happened to her and who was responsible, however, is just one of Tug's goals. For he soon enough learns Nelly's recently inherited a hefty sum from her late father's life insurance. Which definitely complicates matters. The fact that a witness was on hand-Jessie, her half-sister-looks a distinct advantage. But the closer Tug, committed as always to gaining justice, gets to the truth the more elusive it becomes. Both suspense-and menace-build as the stakes turn higher and Tug's determined path to the solution more uncharted. Not to mention, more hazardous to his own life and limb.
