When Gabbi’s (Harry) former associate Charles David (Jon Bridell, CSI: Vegas), the Dean of Criminology at Williams College, is found murdered the morning she is to deliver a guest lecture, classes are cancelled, and an investigation quickly ensues.

Though reluctant to do so, this means she will need to enlist the aid of her mother, Gabbi (Harry), to lend a hand (and her brain).
