Michael Collins burned his suits and ties in a beautiful bonfire before leaving New York and taking up residence at Hut No. 7 in a run-down Mexican resort. He dropped out, giving up a future of big law firm paychecks. But there are millions of dollars missing from a client's account and a lot of people who want Michael Collins to come back. When his girlfriend is accused of murder, he doesn't have a choice.

Michael Collins is back at the Sunset Resort and Hostel with the other misfits and drop-outs. He reluctantly agrees to find a local boy's missing father and soon finds himself back in the United States, harassed by the local sheriff, hunted by the FBI, and trying to win the biggest lawsuit of his life against all odds.

For years, Michael Collins evaded FBI Agent Frank Vatch and avoided prosecution for purportedly taking millions of dollars in client funds. He had quit the practice of law, burned his suits and ties in a glorious back alley bonfire, and dropped out. He loved his life as a beach bum in Mexico, but the investigation was never over. He was never truly free.Then Collins is indicted, arrested, and must account for his past. The only question is whether he has one more trick up his sleeve or whether it's all over.
