One of Lewis Cole's close friends, Felix, is in trouble. Once an enforcer for the Boston mob, Felix is convicted of murdering a local businessman and politician and is due to be sent to death row. Lewis thinks his friend has been framed, but Felix won accept Lewis' help -- or even his calls. But Lewis is nothing if not loyal, and knows he must save his friend from death row even as he races against the state carrying out its sentence -- or the killers with a contract out on Felix in jail. Which ones will get there first?
