Sun Tzu may have said, 'Keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer, ' but he didn't live in Boston, and he's not Shane Cleary. Shane's latest and most unexpected client, while not quite an enemy, is Southie's most dangerous criminal. Everything screams he shouldn't take the gig, finding the gangster's lost dog, but Shane can't resist the promised 'bonus.'

His cat, Delilah, is against it, and his girlfriend, Bonnie, the lawyer, doesn't know.

Life is neither easy nor simple for Shane. Bonnie asks for his help on a pro bono case, his friend Bill requests a sketchy background check, and a mafia henchman makes a peculiar request. Shane can't help but think his client just might kill him anyway after he finishes the job.

Does Jimmy know a Truth that will change Shane's life, or is it a Big Lie?
