When Stormy is suspected of murdering her boss, Travis Lambert, the station hires Chance Malone to investigate the murder, but that doesn't improve Stormy's situation.  Malone is attractive, charming, and funny, all qualities that Stormy's past experience with men have led her to avoid.  It also doesn't help that Stormy has little interest in religion, while Malone is the unusual detective who keeps a Bible in his desk drawer rather than a bottle of Scotch.

When Stormy's estranged mother appears on the scene, things become even more complicated.  As they discover more about the dark secrets of Travis's life, Stormy is forced to reconsider her views of men, her mother, and her future.
