Laura Marks, a a forty-something widow stuck in Florida with a condo she hates and a boat she can’t sell wallows in a depression of torpid TV, anything alcohol and a heaping helping of “I-don’t-care”. But, when she answers a Summons for Jury Duty she stumbles upon a gruesome trial that plunges her into a world of greed, jealousy and murder. An odd-ball group of Court regulars guides her through the maze. Meanwhile her newly divorced big sister moves in, a mysterious cowboy shows interest in buying her boat and someone slips threatening notes under her door. Laura grabs hold of them all -- the good, the bad and the quirky – clutching them like lifelines back to the world of the living.
