Private Investigator, Jimmy Quinn, rescues a child from a predator, posing as a pastor of an unaccredited church. With the child being safe and with his assailant behind bars, Jimmy thinks "open and shut", but...not really. Jimmy gets to know the child's mother and takes a special interest in the child himself, a 10 year-old boy, Tommy. Others notice more than a passing resemblance between the two of them, and while getting to better know Tommy's mother, Brenda, he unfurls a tangled web of lies, scandal malicious mischief and deceit.
