Hung Jury is a steamy romance and legal thriller about two jurors trapped in a high-stakes trial inspired by the Diddy case.
When allegations of jury tampering surface, the judge orders the jury to be sequestered, forcing strangers into close quarters as tensions-and attractions-rise.
Our protagonists couldn't be more different: a bright-eyed law student determined to prove herself and a jaded criminal defense attorney with his own hidden agenda. After the defendant, D. Diddit, opts for a larger firm to represent him, the attorney lies his way onto the jury, intent on sabotaging the trial from the inside.
As the trial unfolds, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested. But when the lines between right and wrong blur, will their growing connection survive the truth? Or will it all come crashing down in the courtroom?
