Sydney grew up with Hope and has always obsessed about marrying into the Dugan fortune until Jack got in his way. He wanted to become Mauriceas right hand, but now he is just Jack Kentas assistant, file clerk, and investigator. In other words, he is Jackas flunky. Jack doesnat know about Sydneyas obsession for Hope, but Sydney will make Jack and Hope pay for his misfortune. Jack has been having an affair for three months now. When Sydney tells Hope about the affair, she somehow ends up dead, and Jack is accused of her murder.

Prison life is very hard on Jack because he is now a prisoner with an ex-criminal attorney background. Dabney Cole is the warden that is out to get him. Against all odds, Jack escapes hours before his execution, and the entire South awaits Jack Kentas next move.
