SYNOPSIS:

With violence at unprecedented levels, prisons overcrowded, and the court system virtually paralyzed, radical measures have been introduced to control crime. Spenser Hammett - convicted of the brutal slaying of his wife Veronica and her work supervisor - is sentenced to Death On Appeal. Though the circumstantial evidence doesn't look good, Hammett claims he's innocent. Suffering from a medical condition that has left him with no memory of the day of the crime, he's got only 48 hours to unravel a web of circumstances involving the office politics of his rich and gorgeous late wife, the activities of an infatuated student at the reform school where he works, and the influence of a beautiful schemer and sexual manipulator without a conscience. If he fails, the court-administered nano-toxin in Hammett's bloodstream will carry out his execution.
