Avery Shaw has taken on her fair share of jerks. Often, she's considered the jerk when she takes them down ... a role she gladly relishes. Now, though, she's taking on a whole faction of jerks. It seems a battle of the sexes is brewing in Macomb County. A local shock jock, a man who believes women should be home tending children and keeping the house clean while men bring home the bacon, is on trial for sexually harassing his underlings. His followers believe he's innocent. Every female empowerment group in the state - and ultimately the nation - believes he's guilty. That means it's a media circus, and there's nothing Avery likes more than a circus. She has her hands full with this one, though. She very clearly agrees with one side but there seems to be something wrong with the underlying story. When one of the radio personality's followers is shot in the middle of a rally, ensuring he's a martyr for the cause, Avery realizes there's a path to follow ... and it's long and winding. Avery knows who she wants to win. She also knows someone isn't telling the truth. It's her job to find out which side is lying. It's all hands on deck for another zany adventure, and everyone is along for the ride. Who's left standing at the end is anyone's guess, but Avery smells blood in the water ... and she's going to find the truth no matter who goes down in the process.
