A young boy witnesses a kidnapping in a homeless encampment and flees for his life. After rescuing a young boy trying to escape from two men who are chasing him, private investigator and single mom Cameron Chandler is repeatedly told that "you can' t save everyone". Nevertheless, she takes on several clients who want her and her partner Yuri at Penny-wise Investigations to find missing homeless relatives, including a three-month-old baby.

Challenged by an investigation that ventures into a complex world of camaraderie and hardships where no one is safe, Cameron finds solace in her quirky but supportive family, her partner' s trivia rants, her dog' s obsession with stuffed endangered species toys, and a handsome detective who may or may not be interested in more than a professional relationship.
