Why these tropes fit
After barely surviving a murder attempt, Cord Romero joins the Lassiter Detective Agency on a personal mission to take down the head of a multinational corporation fronting a child labor ring. There he is reunited with his childhood friend Maggie Barton, now a capable colleague rather than the impressionable girl he remembers. Reluctantly forced to rely on her indispensable investigative skills, Cord and Maggie pursue a dangerous cat-and-mouse operation that threatens their lives and blurs the line between partnership and something more.
