Isolde "Izzy" Valentyne black-sheep heiress to a fallen leather empire wakes in a hospital with handcuffs on her wrists and her father's blood on her clothes. The police say she's guilty. The media's already convicted her. And the poison coursing through her veins? That gives her five days to prove them wrong.
