Cynical Sally lives a life free of excitement and romance and that's just the way she likes it. Although she'd like to be a novelist, she makes ends meet ghostwriting a local advice column under the pseudonym Mr. Know-It-All.

Not such a bad thing, unless the handsome stranger happens to be a contract killer...
