It's 1920, and excitement fills the winding streets of Greenwich Village, where artists, actors, and writers gather, and romance isn't played by any rules. Free-spirited poet Olivia Brown is determined to experience everything her neighborhood has to offer, even if it means defying more than a few social conventions. Olivia writes her poems, acts in Eugene O'Neill's new plays, and spends her nights in a speakeasy called Chumley's. That's where Olivia is headed one night when she literally trips over the body of a dead woman, and finds herself on the trail of killer who is bent on a most personal revenge.
