When janitor Truman Pierce isn't listening to his classical jazz records, he stays under the radar and keeps to himself. Nothing much happens in his world until popular college instructor Danielle Hutchins asks him out.

The day after their first date, Pierce finds Danielle murdered in her classroom. With only a little information to go off of, and a pair of detectives that he doesn't trust, Pierce sets off to find Danielle's killer.

Every corner he turns, he'll find another challenge for him to overcome.

With the help of two college students, David and Goliath, and another college instructor, Pierce will do what it takes to find out the truth about Danielle. He'll be tested to his limits as he seeks to track down the devious killer responsible for ending Danielle's life.

But will the search for the truth be the end for Pierce?. .
