Just when attorney-pet sitter-murder magnet Kendra
Ballantyne has decided to go for it and move in with her
boyfriend, PI Jeff Hubbard, the man just disappears.
Kendra is notified by an acquaintance on the LAPD that
Jeff's Escalade was found in an aqueduct canal just west of
Palmdale, a community that is north of Los Angeles.
Kendra refuses to accept that Jeff is dead, and won't
accept it until his body is produced. She begins her own
investigation after calling Jeff's mother, Irene, an ex-
exotic pole dancer. Irene tells Kendra that a woman named
Lois lives in the area where Jeff's car was found. Lois
was also a pole dancer and good friend, and Jeff considers
Lois his "other mother". With this lead Kendra heads for
Ontario, California to interview Lois. Lois confesses
that she called Jeff and asked him to look into an animal
cloning company that killed her precious part-Akita,
Flisa. Lois had taken Flisa to The Clone Arranger, paid
them a lot of money, and then they told her they were
unable to clone her pet, and was sorry to tell her Flisa
died. Lois is convinced they killed her sweet, sweet dog.
Not long after Kendra's meeting with Lois, one of the
employees at The Clone Arranger is found dead shortly after
a heated argument with Lois, and the police consider her
the prime suspect in the matter. On top of looking for
Jeff and helping Lois out of a mess, Kendra has her legal
clients that need her help and her pet sitting clients.
This lady is spread way too thin!
