Police academy-trained former reporter Ali Reynolds is asked to investigate the grisly murder of a gold-digging divorcee on behalf of a woman accused of the crime. Lynn Martinson is dating the dead woman’s ex-husband, and she and her boyfriend, Dr. Chip Ralston, have been charged. Ali is simultaneously drawn to the case of A.J. Sanders, a frightened teen with secrets of his own.
