Spunky spirit Bailey Ruth is dispatched to Adelaide, Oklahoma, to help single mother and struggling writer Deidre Davenport. Deidre desperately needs a faculty job at the local college, but the man hiring, Professor Jay Knox, is more interested in her body than her body of work. Soon after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up dead - with Deirdre's fingerprints on the murder weapon. Bailey Ruth knows her charge is innocent. Now she must find out who really knocked off Knox if Deirdre and her family are ever going to have a happy ending.
