Badly injured, Jess is the only survivor of what is trumpeted around the world as a tragic accident. All Jess knows is that the car crashed en route, and the other three passengers were killed, including the First Lady. Jess doesn't remember much - only that in the course of the late-night meeting with Annette Cooper, she ended up in the backseat of a car, speeding off into the darkness. But unfortunately, bigger isn't always better.

Jess is thrilled: this high-profile assignment must mean that she's earned her boss's trust and she's on her way to bigger things. He needs Jess to meet First Lady Annette Cooper, for whom Davenport is a personal lawyer, at a Washington, D.C., hotel.

When rookie lawyer Jessica Ford gets the call from her boss, John Davenport, the senior partner at the illustrious law firm for which she works, she can tell he is well on his way to being drunk.
