Never take the short cut …

With her job, apartment, and boyfriend in New York suddenly gone, Rika Martín decides she'll visit friends down at South Padre Island, Texas before returning to L.A. to face her family. But after she takes a short cut onto a desolate Texas highway at night and is run off the road by a pickup truck, Rika can't wait another minute to heed nature's call … and trips over a zombie!

Wait. Not a zombie. Just a dead guy, and when she reports the body, the shady sheriff arrests her for the murder.

Nick Owen realizes it was a bad idea to return to his hometown of Bolo, Texas to lick his wounds. Now, all he wants is move away again. The only good things that have come from his time here are his two resolutions: 1. No more rescuing damsels in distress. It always leads to a world of hurt. 2. No more murder trials. Not after what happened last time.

But when he stops by the courthouse to pick up his friend Gabe — a.k.a. Judge Martinez — for a round of golf, he's forced to act as attorney for a very attractive female murder suspect. Even worse, this "Paprika Anise Martín" — if you can believe that — seems more determined to solve the murder case than to defend herself against it in court.

With too many suspects and not enough evidence, can Nick and Rika resolve this case and get her out of town before the real murderer gets rid of her for good?
