Description: Natalie North works as a licensed private investigator in her father's PI agency, I Pry, Inc. Their specialty is matrimonial/relationship cases, which, if the polite words are chiseled away, deciphers to adulterous partners. Norton North, a former LAPD officer, is known as the best PI in the greater Los Angeles area. Natalie is following close in her father's fine reputation, but Natalie aches to work a case of substance. When a murder-suicide takes place at a nearby diner, Natalie takes it upon herself, much to Norton's dismay, to investigate the crime, of what she believes is a cover up to a double homicide. As she begins to see the error of her judgment, she misses a bullet planned to carry out her own death. Having escaped her intended killing, she welcomes the change to investigate her attempted hit, but the apprehension of it being her own intended demise casts an eerie shadow over her probing.
