Plot

Kim (

) decides to set up a detective agency to help people whose spouses are cheating on them after her own husband leaves her. She decides she requires the help of a man for the cases where it's the women who are two-timing and finds a partner in the form of Nick (

), who is hardly a Romeo himself. The duo work well together – so well that it seems romance might be about to rear its head when least expected.
