Jack Boulder's personal world comes apart after his high school sweetheart rejects his marriage proposal, a police officer issues him a speeding ticket and he gets arrested for murder—all in the same day. He can do little about the first two problems, but Mississippi's premier private investigator faces prosecution for a crime he did not commit unless he finds out who really killed a local baseball coach.
