It's another faculty retreat at Mahina State University, "Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow." Professor Molly struggles to stay awake. Her best friend Dr. Emma Nakamura does her best not to throttle anyone (a particular challenge in the case of newbie know-it-all Kyle Stockhausen).

But then the Trust Fall exercise goes horribly wrong. And things get a lot more interesting. Is it murder? Or just the worst meeting of the semester?

Trust Fall: A Professor Molly Short

"Follow your dreams, and you'll never work a day in your life. Because that field's not hiring."

When a serial harasser collapses face-first into his haupia cheesecake, the Student Retention Office's summer retreat goes from dull to disastrous. Now Professor Molly has to fight to keep her best friend Emma out of the worst kind of trouble — and herself off the unemployment line.

The Case of the Defunct Adjunct: In Which Molly Takes On the Student Retention Office and Loses Her Office Chair

Newly single and far from home, Professor Molly Barda just wants to stay out of trouble until she gets tenure at remote Mahina State University ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow!"). But then Jimmy Tanaka, the ruthless founder of the popular Merrie Musubis lunch shop, pledges a huge donation to Molly's college--and promptly disappears. Molly's bottom-line-obsessed dean tasks her with locating Tanaka (and the promised money). As Molly untangles ancient feuds and uncovers old scandals, she starts to fall for Mahina's most eligible bachelor--who happens to be the missing mogul's main competitor.
