Felix is being charged for the brutal murder of a local businessman - witnesses place him at the location; the recovered murder weapon belonged to Felix; and his fingerprints are all over the crime scene. It seems to be the proverbial open-and-shut case, but Lewis refuses to believe his friend - even though Felix is a former enforcer for the Boston mob - was responsible. As he engages in his one-man attempt to free his friend, two FBI agents come to him with disturbing news: they have word that unless Felix is freed from prison in just three days, he will be murdered while in custody. With time running out, the FBI nipping at his heels, and with Felixs own lawyer refusing to help, Lewis is on his own as he desperately tries to clear his friends name before Felix departs prison . . . as a dead man.
