Tomas Aleciades has a big handicap. He's nearly blind. That doesn't stop him from doing what he most loves…gardening. What will stop him, though, is being accused of murder.

MacFarland is asked by his good friend Jacinto Gomez to prove that Aleciades is innocent. To do that, MacFarland will have to contend with a deceptive thirteen-year old girl, an angry father, crooked cops, and his own doubts and uncertainty.
