A recently transplanted Northerner with a shiny new PI license, Jake hangs out her shingle in the small hamlet of Erley, Alabama, and finds out the hard way that Southern revenge is a dish best served cold. Hired to tail a cheating spouse, she is soon entangled in a killer's quest for vengeance. There is a murder. A client whose reckless past catches up with him. Siblings who share sinister secrets. A woman desperate to keep her son out of foster care. And along the way, a free-loading feline that has Jake wrapped around his furry paw. There is a hint of romance but no sex scenes.
