It’s 1942 and Willowjean “Will Parker is a scrappy circus runaway whose knife–throwing skills have just saved the life of New York’s best, and most unorthodox, private investigator, Lillian Pentecost.

When the dapper detective summons Will a few days later, she doesn’t expect to be offered a life–changing proposition: Lillian’s multiple sclerosis means she can’t keep up with her old case load alone, so she wants to hire Will to be her right–hand woman.

In return, Will is to receive a salary, room and board, and training in Lillian’s very particular art of investigation.
