It is March, 1929. Cyrus Skeen is called to NY by his dad, Garnett Skeen, to attend to some trust finance affairs. Skeen's detective firm is subsidized with a trust finance his father create years before, but his mom, Eleanor "Nellie" Skeen, hopes to set up her own trust finance for her son. A daughter of your Oklahoma oil magnate, she is "very well situated" in terms of riches. Skeen's parents, however, are travelling to Nags Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina to spend the rest of the winter. The elder Skeen explains to his son that he must show his living to for a fresh bank officer who will be administrating the new trust finance; therefore, Skeen must happen to be NEW YORK. In NY, he complies with an alluring and tempestuous opera vocalist, Brianna "Ginger" O'Quill. During one of her shows at the Metropolitan Opera, he runs backstage and kisses the diva's hands. She interprets the gesture as an invitation to go after him, which she does even though she knows he is hitched and deeply in love with his partner, Dilys. But a competitor for her attentions is jealous and makes an attempt to murder Skeen - or O'Quill...or anyone.
