Placed on permanent disability by the department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Parker Wilson applies for a PI license. However, he doesn't plan on tracking down cheating spouses for a living, in spite of his feelings for the woman who tries to hire him to look into the seamy side of her late husband's life. But when Maggie Youngson becomes a suspect in the murder of this purported ex-lover, Parker changes his mind, believing the things she wants to know about the love affair could lead him to the real killer. Having personal experience with the trauma of growing up amid nasty gossip about one's parent, Maggie Youngon doesn't want her 5 year old daughter to hear such nasty rumors about her own father. She's relieved when PI, Parker Wilson is willing to help prove her innocent of murder, but she isn't giving up on her original quest: to learn the truth about her late husband's past.
