The Sharkfish Man follows The Narcissus Touch in which a defence lawyer is accused of murdering his own client in the middle of a civil fraud trial in Calgary, Alberta. The crown prosecutor, Lloyd Nagano, whose nickname is 'Sharkfish', is satisfied with the guilt of the accused, but proving it becomes uncertain when an intermeddling judge attempts to tip the scales of justice. In the interim, Michael Bolta and Jacobus (Jake) Barton, the plaintiff's counsel in the fraud litigation, have to not only defend themselves from becoming implicated, but deal with their own personal issues involving two strong-willed women.
