Merri Walters had a settled life, she was a teacher and happy in her job until a sinus infection turned into deafness. Permanent deafness. Somehow she quickly learned to read lips and found herself working in the police archives. Then she found a cold case and had an idea how to root out the killer. She informs the police and they're surprised to learn that she's involved. Then they hatch a plan to use her to get information on a crime boss by infiltrating his home as a maid. Her supervisor Detective Steven Barlow, to whom she is a bit attracted, doesn't like the plan but goes along with it anyway. To complicate matters she also finds herself attracted to one of the crime bosses goons!
