Welcome to Indian Creek, Texas, where you'll meet some amazing characters. Kelly McWinter, a retired cop who suffered a personal tragedy that caused him to quit the force. Kelly's dog, Jake, a German Shepherd who has fought some battles of his own, and Cameron G. Belscher III, owner of the Hideaway Bar and Barbecue and Kelly's best friend.A Clint Eastwood, John Wayne type of guy, Kelly has been coming to grips with his personal grief and is once again feeling the pull to return to law enforcement. That decision escalates when he and Jake find one of the Hideaway's favorite characters dead on the floor of the flea market. Coincidences, the emergence of a secret life, a treasure, an heiress searching for her birth mother and the ulterior motives of some of the Creek's own citizens all have Kelly scrambling to uncover the truth before his best friend ends up being convicted of a crime that Kelly is positive he didn't commit.

Texas PI, Kelly McWinter, has just landed a dream of a job. Nashville songstress, and family friend, Marcy Fischer has been nominated for the Academy of Country Music's female vocalist of the year award, but her husband is stuck in Russia on a special assignment for the President, and Marcy's been having trouble with a fan who tried to break into their house. Mark is determined to get his wife the best protection possible, and that means Kelly McWinter. Not only is Kelly a pal, but he once saved Marcy from a murder charge. Kelly and girlfriend Gillian are now happily married and with Mark's promise of first class accommodations in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas, for the honeymoon the couple never managed to take it seems like a win/win situation. What's so hard about guarding the beautiful songstress while attending a host of fabulous parties and having dinner with the likes of Blake Shelton. Life is good for the McWinter household. That is, until someone kidnaps Marcy's lovely young sister right out from under Gillian's nose while the two are shopping in Beverly Hills, and then all hell breaks loose when Marcy's erstwhile fan shows all the signs of turning into a fanatical killer. Yep, Kelly McWinter is going to need a vacation from his vacation.
