He built doorways.\u003cbr\u003eCorporate attorney Simone Adair doesn't lose - cases, arguments, or composure. So when she's assigned as lead counsel on Chicago's most high-profile affordable housing development, she expects the usual: late nights, hard negotiations, and a clear path to victory.\u003cbr\u003eShe does not expect Marcus Webb.\u003cbr\u003eTwo years ago, Marcus - a community architect with deep roots in the South Side - dismantled her client's case at a public hearing with devastating precision. She's never forgotten it. He's never apologized. And now they have ninety days to deliver a hundred-million-dollar project together or lose the careers that define them.\u003cbr\u003eForced proximity was supposed to be professional.
