The Hurricane Brief

In the Republic of Montclair, jaded disability lawyer Elias Crane takes on a routine appeal against the National Welfare Administration, only to discover his client is the sole witness to a high-profile murder. When a hundred-year storm annihilates the physical evidence and kills a key informant, Crane is drawn into a labyrinth of bureaucratic corruption and buried secrets. As the legal clock ticks and the floodwaters recede, he must navigate a broken system where the only way out is to rewrite the rules of justice itself.
