What Is The Expert About?

The premise of The Expert without spoilers.

Judge. Jury. Executioner. A brutal murder lands the deranged psychopath Martin Kagan in prison, only for a well‑meaning deputy warden to grant him a stay of execution. Tactical defense instructor John Lomax, haunted by his sister’s death at Kagan’s hands, vows vengeance, becoming the very force of judgment he despises.
