Claire is hired to document the living conditions of welfare hotels. A group wants to bring down the owners. The owners are making large amounts of money from the city by pocketing most of it instead of using it for its intended purpose, that of giving the welfare recipients a decent place to stay.
Claires investigation is complicated when she finds that the US Attorney General Office also has an interest in this Hotel. And if that isnt enough, Clairs police officer brother may, inadvertently, be in the thick of things also.
