A toddler is missing. Her mother is a noted local photographer whose work contains photography of nude children. She's also a family friend. Dot is worried that the cop assigned to the case isn't up to the job. She's going to take this one on herself, come hell or high water. The stakes are too high for the missing toddler, her distraught family, and for Dot, who is ready to risk everything including her relationship with the best man she's ever met.
