Naked

"...Some secrets don't die. Some secrets have a life of their own."

Judge Donald O'Connell, in the twisted and hidden world he created, hoarded secrets like the people in his life that he used. But the mind manipulation he fabricated is about to collapse. Why?

This dishonorable jurist called "Honorable" is about to be disbarred from the bench and lose his comfortable and powerful Judicial privilege. Who?

When this happens, those he manipulated, his wife, mistress, harassed legal assistant and anyone who's ever sought his favor make a discovery. They have been lied to by the one person who made them who they are.What?

This stark truth, laid bare by the fall of Judge O'Connell, is that the comfortable self-delusion and the security they are addicted to is as dead as the Judge's career. When?

Some of the Judge's dependents can't survive this sudden immersion in reality and cling to their make-believe illusions that are slowly killing them. Where?

Others look unashamedly at the one place they'll find this naked truth; themselves. There, unflinching reality reveals they've squandered their lives seeking this fallen Judge's approval. How?

What everyone connected to this Judge's legacy ultimately discovers about relationships is that to be lied to, first you have to lie to yourself. Once this truth is disrobed, it can't be covered up.
