Private Investigator Jack Liffey has been confined to a wheelchair, due to a freak accident that may have damaged his spine. So when an old friend calls asking for help in finding his missing sixteen-year-old son, Jack's teenage daughter, Maeve, decides to take on the case. But it's not long before she finds herself in trouble and Jack's partner, Gloria, a LAPD Sergeant, comes to her rescue. Gloria searches skid row and comes across one of Jack's ex-lovers, now a nun working at a homless shelter, who provides vital information.
