Synopsis

The glittering festivities at a prestigious waterfront estate were shattered when a gunman opened fire from a passing cigarette boat, leaving a woman dead. The suspect, a man with a past as a con artist, was apprehended and, surprisingly, proved a formidable advocate for himself. His legal maneuvering complicated the case further, particularly because the key witness – the victim's ten-year-old son – was someone Horatio felt compelled to shield from the courtroom.
