Cold Judgment

One courthouse, five strangers, and the deadliest snowstorm in the city's history. Each one is here seeking judgment, of an issue so vital they fought the elements to stand before the judge and plead their case. Some come seeking judgment, some for exoneration, others want absolution, and one just wants a chance to set things right. But now, the storm is threatening their very lives. As they huddle together for warmth and survival it seems they are not total strangers after all. Their lives, it seems, have crossed in the past. And at least one of the members of this ersatz reunion wants to be sure no one finds out his role in this drama.
