Tensions run a little high at dog shows, considering the unpredictability of canines. That goes double for their handlers, as attorney McBride soon finds out. His newest client is Laurie (Samantha Smith, Transformers), accused of shooting to death her married lover, Frank, at the annual L.A. Kennel Club Dog Show, where her golden retriever took Best in Show. You’d think the prize would have put her in a better mood, but all clues point to the beautiful blonde as the shooter—including an incriminating cell phone text message, a blonde hair, and the bitter motives of a scorned mistress. If anyone wants justice, it’s Frank’s wheelchair-bound wife, Sarah—and McBride. Unfortunately, the traditional gumshoe’s grasp of text messaging is currently as elusive as the truth.
