Synopsis

Justice Black is a middle-aged, barely successful writer of detective novels. His former wife had grown disillusioned with his prospects and cheated on him until he finally realized that it was her character that was the problem, not his writing. He divorced her, threw a dart at a map and moved from his home state of Colorado to the San Fernando Valley. He wrote a screenplay of his first novel and submitted it, not knowing that writers typically make terrible screenwriters. His ignorance worked to his benefit, that script was accepted and over the next few years the success he'd longed for began showing up. Convinced that his success was reasonably assured, he finds a real estate agent and begins looking for a home. His agent proves to be highly attractive and extremely irritating, but eventually she finds him an old cabin in Chatsworth. As the home goes through escrow, her ability to irritate him increases, but there is something about her that he finds oddly compelling. One night, he shows up at her office to drop off two DVD's and finds her six year-old daughter sitting on the floor. He calls Lisa and she asks him to take her daughter out for supper. He agrees and thus begins an astonishing relationship that neither Lisa or Justice could have imagined. He becomes the stepfather to that young girl and over the next ten years raises her, knowing that one day he will have to tell her a dreadful secret. She has a father, and that man is finishing a ten year sentence in prison, and Justice is the man who put him there.
