At the prestigious Northwood Academy, the Mock Trial team isn't just a club—it's a pipeline to Ivy League law schools. When seventeen-year-old Maya discovers that the "fictional" case file for this year's national competition is actually based on a sealed, real-life local murder, she realizes her coach is using the students to test-run a strategy for a corrupt client. Maya must navigate legal loopholes to leak the truth without getting herself—or her teammates—disbarred before they even graduate.
