When television producer David Zetrakis is found dead with a gunshot wound to the head, L.A. greeting card artist Wollie Shelley is sad. When Wollie’s best friend Joey—who once, like Wollie, dated the guy—is tried in the press for the murder and found guilty, Wollie is mad. And when Joey inherits a two-million dollar Klimt painting, making her the prime suspect in the eyes of the LAPD as well, Wollie does what anyone would do for her best friend: takes on killers, cops, and paparazzi, despite a lack of credentials, physical courage, or automatic weapons.
