Shy Tammy Jones wants to be a private detective but has barely managed to get a job in the typing pool. When Pete Hunter, head detective needs a body double for a movie star, Tammy matches the body type--but she is so lacking in self-confidence that no one believes she can pull it off.

Hunter believes in himself and sets to convert reclusive Tammy into a confident woman--and finds himself falling for her growing attractiveness. But is he falling for his own creation, or can a real relationship be possible? Of course, the two have to stay alive first, and the threat to the movie star turns out to be terribly real.
