About
A street-wise kid, Mark Sway, sees the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, whose current client is Barry 'The Blade' Muldano, a Mafia hit-man. Before Jerome shoots himself, he tells Mark where the body of a Senator is buried. Clifford shoots himself and Mark is found at the scene, and both the FBI and the Mafia quickly realize that Mark probably knows more than he says.

A Child's Distrust of Lawyers
Mark
I don't want a lawyer, I hate lawyers. Every lawyer we had just shafted me and my mom. I said I need a lawyer.
