Myles F. Brown, raised in the ghetto, grows up dreaming of success and money. He graduates from dental school with honors, and takes an associate position at a prestigious Fifth Avenue Dental practice. Dr. Preston Carrington III, owner of the practice, and whom Time called: The Dentist's Dentist, is a nationally recognized expert in field of cosmetic dentistry. Myles's dreams are at his doorstep but his nightmare is just beginning. Behind the scenes unknown to Myles, is a practice marred by greed, fraud, and incompetence. Tragedy strikes when Myles's girlfriend is found at the bottom of an elevator shaft. Ruled an accidental death, the case is closed until Carley Carrington, wife of Preston, is also found under similar circumstances. Evidence is planted implicating Myles, and he is arrested. While in police custody he learns the identity of the killer. He escapes, and with the police on his trail, uses his fiance as bate to lure the killer out into the open and obtain the evidence to clear himself, and convict the guilty parties.
