David Boylan is a financial consultant from New York assigned by his firm to help a college unravel its tangled financial crisis and save it from ruin. What Boylan uncovers is an evil scheme of crime, corruption and murder that goes far beyond what anyone would have imagined or suspected. In the process, Boylan meets an attractive college coed on campus who not only helps him with his work assignment, but she also helps him sort out his own personal crisis--a marriage that is near doom.
