After a judge passes away under suspicious circumstances, Kim Wheeler, an attorney who is appointed as a judge for Nevada's 5th district after the former judge's death, finds herself covering a circuit that stretches between Las Vegas and Reno — a rugged, often desolate area where anything and everything can happen. As the investigation into the death intensifies, Kim's sister Kris, who runs the local brothel, becomes the prime suspect.
