New York City Police Sergeant Marian Larch is on the verge of resigning from the force after a big case leaves her jaded, frustrated and boiling mad at the system. — During a cooling off period at another precinct, she comes to the aid of her longtime friend, actress Kelly Ingram, star of the new Broadway hit, The Apostrophe Thief. Someone is stealing memorabilia—costumes, cups, scripts. Marian just wants to solve the case, quit the force, finger her irresponsible boss and her incompetent partner and then ... what? Holland, her ex-FBI lover, wants her to join his fledgling P.I. firm. Perhaps.
