Judas Thomas was conceived during a brutal rape. His mother, a nun, keeps the child and gives birth to a mulatto boy. To the horror of the parish, she names the boy Judas, after the ill-fated disciple Judas Iscariot. Despised for his name and mulatto race, Judas is raised in a Catholic orphanage. Judas grows up to a powerful prosecuting attorney. He cuts no deals and prosecutes criminals with ruthless vengeance. Judas gains powerful friends including the newly elected Governor. When Judas' plan to strengthen the Governor's resolve on capital offenses fails, Judas finds himself in jail. Hoping to rebuild his life after prison, Judas discovers new life in his son. When his son is diagnosed with leukemia, Judas makes the ultimate bargain with God: his life for his son's.

Despised for his name and mulatto race, Judas is raised in a Catholic orphanage. Judas becomes a powerful prosecuting attorney specializing in sexual assault. He prosecutes criminals with ruthless vengeance. Judas gains powerful friends including the newly elected Governor. When Judas' plan to strengthen the Governor's resolve on sexual assault fails, Judas finds new life in his son. Judas will make the ultimate bargain with God: his life for his son.
