All of that is about to change. An attractive, precocious teenage girl shows up in his office one morning needing help finding her missing mother.
Now, Don must track down a mother gone wrong while trying to find her abandoned daughter a proper home before child welfare gets the scent. To complicate matters, an old flame is being harassed by a former boyfriend, who is not what he appears to be, and she is begging Don to do something about it.
Tracking down the missing mother with the help of his best friend and partner and Don's ever-dangerous new friend, the trail of clues leads to a Las Vegas confrontation where Don comes face to face with henchmen of a Vegas bad boy, and nearly pays the ultimate price.
