Washington, D.C. criminal defense attorney Mercy Johnson has a nose for mischief. When a young college student, John Morrow, hires her to represent him on heroin smuggling charges, she senses that mischief will make her job harder than usual. Her instincts prove reliable. Heroin of a street value of twenty million dollars is the main exhibit in the trial of United States v. John Morrow. During a recess, thieves walk out of federal court with the heroin, taking Mercy and Morrow as hostages. Will Banks, a seasoned narcotics detective, must recover the heroin and bring the thieves to account. Mercy and her investigator, Sam Lester, build a defense for Morrow against the heroin smuggling charges, while Banks grapples with the fear that he may have arrested the wrong man. Mercy's nephew, one of Banks's hand-picked Narcotics Task Force members, gets drawn into the investigation of the heroin heist, and a botched sting to recover the heroin nearly costs him his life. Morrow's college career, his future, everything he has worked for, is on the line. Mercy must convince Banks and the federal prosecutor that Morrow is not a part of the heroin conspiracy.All proceeds from the sale of China White will benefit the Community Entrepreneurs Program.
