J.D. Towne is not only football's greatest quarterback, he is the biggest American sports celebrity since Michael Jordan. His movie star handsome face is everywhere, on television, on billboards, on cereal boxes. Literally everywhere. He is also hiding a secret -- a big secret: He is a serial abuser of women. Towne, like so many of today's athletes, has grown up with a deep sense of entitlement. He think he doesn't have to live by the same rules as everyone else. Jody Langley, one of the women he abused, thinks differently. She musters the courage to try to take him down. She contacts Mike Daggett, the sports columnist at the Los Angeles Tribune, and Daggett is prepared to break the biggest story in years. Until Ms. Langley is kidnapped and Daggett is told if he writes the story, she will be killed. Now Daggett has to wrestle with his conscience. Does he write the story and save all the women Towne continues to abuse, or does he hold off to save Jody's life? This is the ultimate portrait of a great athlete, from his days as a Pop Warner star in Texas to his stunning, Super Bowl-winning performances in the NFL. Along the way, you find out what makes him tick and why women can't resist him. And why he, in turn, continues to risk his career and multi-million dollar contract to physically abuse them.
