When a young nun, the daughter of a despised newspaper publisher, is killed by a bomb planted in her dad's car, the state police is called to investigate and Detective Sergeant Jerome (Stan) Stankowski is assigned the task. Unfortunately for Stan, the Attorney General's office sends its former star prosecutor, the now burned out and persnickety Parker Noble, to assist. To Stan's dismay, the local officials assume that Parker, a deputy attorney general, is in charge of the operation. Intimidated by Parker, Stan tries to take charge while silently wondering if his days as a detective are numbered.
Trying to re-gain control of the investigation, Stan utilizes the assistance of one of the dead nun's friends, the flirtatious Buffy Coyle, whose interest in Stan may be greater than her interest in helping the police. Complicating matters for Stan, Buffy had recently been fired from the newspaper by her friend's father.
Confusing investigators is the fact that the nun's visit was a surprise, known only to her family and a neighbor. To add to their troubles, the father suffers a seizure at the scene.
A mayor under attack by the paper, a police chief with a mysterious four year gap in his resume, a contractor whose development was blocked by the publisher, a gay group angry at the newspaper for "outing" a gay teacher, and a man whose life was ruined by one newspaper photo, all become suspects in the effort to solve the crime.
