Esther Charlemagne has seen enough tragedy in the first four years of the sixties for a lifetime, but her partner in her Los Angeles private investigation firm, Aiden "Mac" McManus, is trying to gently prod her in the direction of marriage. Stubborn, filled with pain and cynicism, she begins to hate their  investigations of cheating spouses and accepts a case of circumstantial death by fire of a rising ballerina star, against the advice of her partner. Excited to be investigating a "real case" like they did when detectives in the New York City Police Department on the elite homicide squad, they must follow the only lead, another ballerina, back to New York City. None of the information they glean fits the profile of the potential suspect, confusing the two crack investigators. The more information they gather, the less it seems their suspect is guilty, and Esther and Mac must fight their own feelings for each other until the moment Esther suddenly discovers the truth.
