A honeymoon interrupted. . .

At the same time, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the case of her life: a renowned heart surgeon accused of murdering her husband in front of their young children. But when Lindsay finds evidence that could destroy Yuki's case, she's forced to make a terrible choice.
