'Thee Needs Killing Marly' Driving to work, skilled, San Jose Internist and Addiction Specialist, Richard Drinkwater is ambushed and shot in the shoulder by a masked man; fortunately, one with poor aim. Police are stymied. The doc soon suspects one of his patients, Marly Doan, a successful but cocaine-addicted and paranoid defense attorney who thinks his doc gave confidential, medical information to a legal panel resulting in disbarment and criminal charges. In addition to pain, terror and rage over this event, Drinkwater is already enduring a significant episodic depression . After a bungled diagnosis, his wife-also a defense attorney- battles ovarian cancer. It becomes clear Doan has business connections to a complex and ominous Central American drug cartel. Aggressive actions and threats continue. The police attempt inadequate protection. Drinkwater won't hide and is reluctant to arm himself because being raised a Quaker made him a staunch pacifist who loathes and fears guns. The doc's general mood and thinking improve and, encouraged by a realistic wife, he reluctantly hires a teacher, buys and learns how to use his gun and masters defensive tactics. He joins his wife in waging Righteous War on their two foes.
