As the song says, you can't always get what you want. Maybe that's why, instead of fulfilling her youthful dream of being a rock star, Layla Fortune is living in a trailer park while playing third-rate gigs. Given everything else she's been through, she's not complaining (much) about satin ruffles and go-go boots. She has a squad of supportive BFFs, and she's reclaimed a relationship with her famous rocker dad. His recent diagnosis has brought them even closer--sharing the trailer park's lake house, which he's had remodeled. Layla's dad loves his new community and the feeling seems mutual. So, why is one of them blackmailing him? It's a mystery almost as baffling as the assignment Layla receives from her former Commissioner: look into the brutal murder of a mild-mannered school teacher. Archie Wilkins was bludgeoned with a candelabra, shot up with drugs, and stuffed into a church confessional. Not the kind of outcome expected for a guy reputed to be the world's nicest. Perhaps Archie had secrets. Perhaps everyone does, including Layla's one-time cop colleagues. She's been blaming herself for a deadly ambush that destroyed her career and her peace of mind, but as her new friends help Layla regain her memories, a different picture emerges, and it's one that forces her to question so much that she's taken as truth . . .
