Trevor Tyson sold his successful software company for twenty million to a Las Vegas company including all programs he develops for three years afterwards, a condition Tyson wants to avoid since he has two software programs he wants to market. To distract the buyer, he becomes a "street preacher" calling himself Brother James. He does it in style using a marketing company with Hollywood experience. His "message" sounds like he's advocating revolution, getting Washington's attention which asks Chief Wasserman of the San Diego police department for a report. Bishop Bone, in town speaking to California police officers, is asked by the Chief for his opinion. He agrees and inadvertently becomes part of a media report which causes his bank clients to end their legal relationship with him. When he tries to correct the mistake, he becomes involved in Tyson's murder and the attempt to add him to the list.
