Mystery Private Eye
Single mom Emily Locke is building a new life with her
daughter. Hoping to spend more time at home, she's put her
career on hold to work part-time for her private
investigator friend, Richard Cole. It's a nice balance
between work and family until Emily finds out she's been
working for the attorney that defended her husband's
killer. The discovery nearly destroys her friendship with
Richard, but Emily resists abandoning his client, the
socialite Claire Gaston, who awaits trial for the murder
of a local plastic surgeon. The threat of losing her
children to a self-serving ex-husband terrifies Claire
more than the specter of a life behind bars. Sympathetic
to a mother's fears and unconvinced of Claire's guilt,
Emily resolves to stick with the case despite her growing
concerns about Richard and the dubious attorney who hired
him. A mysterious note leads her into a daring undercover
ruse at a high brow ladies health club. Impervious to
fashion trends, disinterested in beauty treatments, Emily
fakes conformity with Houston's elite debutantes and
trophy wives in a surreal fitness subculture where things,
and people, are seldom what they seem. At this gym, killer
workout has a whole new meaning.
