Wealthy Little Rock businessman and philanthropist Hugh Powell wants his black sheep son Trent to come home. His latest reports indicate that the wayward offspring is in Charleston, South Carolina. Powell hires private investigator, Denzil R. Montgomery to fly to Charleston and deliver him home so the family can do an intervention. Upon his arrival in the historic southern city, Denzil is quickly accosted by two men in his motel room and runs into a myriad of other unfriendly characters during his search for Trent. It's up to the private investigator to unravel the mystery through the clues he's uncovered, break Trent's Charleston connection and bring him back home to Arkansas.
