Synopsis
Lucy Trimble, a middle-aged and fed-up housewife, has left her stuffy and domineering husband to take over a distant cousin's private investigation business in Toronto. The move has given her a bright new outlook on life and a brand-new boyfriend.
When Lucy is retained by Greta Golden to find the identity of the ominous lurking stranger who Greta is certain is following her, it doesn't appear to be too challenging a mystery. Lucy has no trouble learning who her client's pursuer is. A British investigator has been engaged to probe into Greta's life, but the question of what he is trying to discover about Greta, and why, begins to truly complicate the case.
