Summary
Divorces between lawyers tend to be uglier than average, and Dan and Wendi’s divorce is especially vicious. She fights to leave Tallahassee. He fights just as hard to keep her there. And when both fail to get what they want, one of them ends up dead.
“Where the Enemy Sleeps” is performed by Scott Mackay featuring Lucette.
