Sinopsis

The story revolves around the hunt for Paul Leonard, the man responsible for the death of Stanley Colton's mother and father, Jack and Samantha Colton and his younger sister, Ashley. Jack was a detective as well as a hitman of an underground elite to stabilize the prison, as well as the country's population by eliminating murderers and rapists. This elite was started by high court judge, Judge Roberts. Jack and the rest of the family are murdered by Paul Leonard. Paul Leonard was a cop also set up as a hitman by Judge Roberts, who took advantage of this elite, creating a mob army to racketeer and make money off of weapons and drug smuggling. Jack Colton was the last to try and eliminate Paul as he had already killed all the families in association with the elite. Roberts gave Paul the idea of who the families were that tried to eliminate them. Although this is not shown, it's stated when Stanley meets up with Roberts. Stanley witnessed the death of his family by hiding underneath a table, not being noticed. 13 years later detective Frank Colton and Officer Michael Sharp investigate files of previous convicts and one young hitman, never to be caught or ever convicted, to help them on their mission to capture and kill Paul Leonard with the help of Judge Roberts. Frank realizes that Stanley is the one who's never been caught and tries to trace him up. With the significant help Officer Michael Sharp, Frank Colton finds out about Stanley Colton's whereabouts. The two other convicts are already found and they await Stan's approval. Detective Colton approaches Stan without telling him that they are family. Stanley's attitude and heavy metal appearance shows that he has another life going. He continually disapproves stating "there were some things in life I chose to put behind me." Tracey, Stanley's on and off girlfriend, who's aware of his hitman and tough skills, encourages him to participate as she tells him that there's nothing wrong in receiving a little help. Stanley

    It's exit stage left, permanently, for a big-time director who lands the starring role in an unscripted death scene . . .  
     
     
     
    Desperate to find a director for their annual production, the Fox Hollow Players have a stroke of luck when Shell McMillan's actress mother lands a prominent theater director for the job. He's more gruff and demanding than the small-town cast and crew are used to, but his soft side for animals quickly endears him to pet shop owner Shell. Persuading her to let him use a shed on her property where he can work in peace, Shell is horrified when she finds his dead body there. And with obvious signs of foul play, she can't help but investigate the murder. 
     
     
     
    As she digs into the man's past, it becomes apparent that at one point or another he was romantically entangled with just about every woman involved in the play. And just when Shell discovers he may have been blackmailing one of them, other clues surface that suggest a more sinister motive. With her hands already full with a beautiful stray cat she found and christened Princess Fuzzypants, Shell will have to fill two roles, caring for the Maine coon and trying to track down the killer before it's her turn for a fatal curtain call . . .
