It's been four years since author Phil Blackwood wrote his last murder mystery, and he needs inspiration fast. Luckily, he stumbles across Nina, a Romanian woman who is being arraigned on a murder charge. It's love at first sight for Phil, who gives her alibi--that they are lovers and she was with him on the night of the murder. However, he begins to question his decision to aid her when his life becomes more action packed than his books.
