A seemingly simple investigation takes Rushmore McKenzie
down a dark and twisted path.
Once a police detective in St. Paul, Minnesota, Rushmore
McKenzie became an unlikely millionaire and an occasional
unlicensed private investigator, doing favors for friends.
Erin Peterson is a local businessperson and owner of a
growing food company called Salsa Girl. Someone seems to
have a beef with her: the outside locks on her factory
having been systematically filled with superglue. But for
some reason, Erin didn't want to report this harassment to
the police. As a favor to his poker buddy and hockey
teammate Ian, McKenzie agrees to stop by and chat with
Erin.
At first Erin denies there's anything going on and only
asks for McKenzie's help when the harassment escalates and
threatens her business. The further McKenzie digs into the
situation, the more complicated...and deadly... it
becomes. And somewhere, in the middle of it all, is Erin,
playing all sides against the middle, leading McKenzie to
wonder if you ever really knows who your friends really
are.
