When a drug company's stock plummets on SEC charges of wrongdoing, Los Angeles mediator Arden 'Never-Fail' Jeffries loses $126,000 and leaves work early only to surprise a trio of burglars at his home, one of whom knocks him out. When he awakens, Arden faces the daunting challenge of finding justice for the burglars and the CEO who destroyed his life.

Arden quickly finds the courts' form of justice is far from just. After struggling to work through the political system, he finds himself in jail on an obstruction of justice charge just as the economy collapses in the fall of 2008. In danger of losing his freedom, his wife and daughter, and his chance of ever retiring, Arden must decide just how much justice is worth to him. Will he ever find justice or only injustice?
