Michael was scrambling up the ladder at a giant D.C. law firm, but a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Who was this man? Michael did some digging and found a dirty secret.
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant
D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a
partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with no time to waste, no time to
stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience.
But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his
assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a

little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney.
The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a
top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street
lawyer.
And a thief.
