Abby Lunay has her first case as a detective-in-training, but she may be out of her depth. Her client, Zee, may be out of patience. And her colleague, Gina, may be out of her mind. Two people died in a fire last year, but were they victims of foul play, or were their deaths a tragic series of accidents and negligence? Was the suspect who was convicted for the deaths framed, or is she scheming for her freedom by attempting to shift the blame away from herself? These are the questions Abby needs to find the answers to. These are the same questions, however, that Alyssa Bristol wants nothing to do with, no matter how excited Abby is. Despite Alyssa's strenuous objections, she and Abby will need to work together, to determine if they're on the trail of a killer, or if they're being manipulated by one. The Hopeless Cases: A little mystery, a little comedy, and, because it's Abby, a lot of strangeness.
