Indy Savage owns a used bookstore and has loved Lee Nightingale since she was a little girl. He held her hand at her mother's funeral, and she never forgot. Lee runs a private investigation agency now. For years he avoided her advances because he wasn't ready to settle down. Now he wants commitment, but Indy has changed her mind. She's not interested anymore. Their timing couldn't be worse. A quiet coffee shop worker runs illegal side businesses. A Vietnam veteran causes chaos. A pothead and a drag queen get involved. Family and friends interfere constantly. Someone has a bag of diamonds. Stun guns appear. Shootings break out across town. A high speed chase tears through the streets. Car bombs explode. Indy and Lee get pulled into the violence whether they want it or not. Between dodging bullets and defusing explosives, they have to figure out if their childhood connection can survive as adults.
