Texas, 1961. The state's slickest politician has lost his presidential bid to a good-looking naval hero from Massachusetts, and sleepy backwater Houston finds itself short on air conditioners just when things are beginning to heat up. The Freedom Riders have raised morale for local civil rights activists, and President Kennedy wants to put a man on the moon. In a seedy office downtown, a well-dressed out-of-towner hires P.I. Harry Lark to tail two D.C. visitors looking to build NASA a space center. The more Harry finds out, the more he suspects he's working for the wrong side, and he vows to wash his hands of the case. Meanwhile, Harry's twelve-year-old daughter Dizzy is puzzling over a mystery of her own: she's been running a lost-and-found out of a suburban garage, and is unexpectedly hired to find a missing father who's supposed to be dead and buried. When Harry's client turns up dead on his office floor and mobsters start hounding him for cash he's never seen, Harry realizes he needs all the help he can get--even if it comes from his daughter. As Harry's and Dizzy's cases converge, one thing becomes clear: someone wants Houston to look like a lawless Wild West Cowtown--and together, Harry and Dizzy are going to find out who.
