Alexis Stone, a stunningly beautiful University of Texas co-ed with a troubled past, is found dead in her apartment after a night of hard partying, the victim of a suspected drug overdose. Her body is buried at the Caring Oaks Cemetery in her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, and later found beneath an inverted crucifix on the altar of a rural church desecrated by satanic markings. Alexis' distraught parents want revenge for what happened to their only daughter and turn to flamboyant Fort Worth trial lawyer, Cal Connors, to get it.
