New York City, 1950. Viviana Valentine is Girl Friday to the cityâs top private investigator, Tommy Fortuna. The clients can be frustrating, and none more maddening than fabulously wealthy Tallmadge Blackstone, who demands Tommy tail his daughter, Tallulah, and find out why she wonât marry his business partner, a man forty years her senior. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for a P.I. known for busting up organized crimeâbut the next day, Viviana opens the office to find Tommy missing and a lifeless body on the floor. The cops swoop in, and Detective Jake Lawson issues a warrant for Tommyâs arrest. Desperate to clear Tommyâs name, Viviana takes on the Blackstone case herself. When she goes out for a night on the town with the heiress, she begins to learn the secrets behind Tallulahâs headline-grabbing life. Meanwhile, Lawson is itching to solve his murder case and continues harassing Viviana for answersâuntil sheâs the victim of a series of violent attacks. But Tommyâs still missing, and Viviana is scared. As she digs into the dirty history of the Blackstone empire, she suddenly realizes the true danger at hand. Now, itâs up to her to find her missing boss and make sure he doesnât turn up D.O.A.
