Copper

Lucy Lenin is broke, her abusive husband is missing, and the gangsters he owed want to take it out on the demure Lucy. When she's offered a job at a strip club, Lucy takes the job for fast money and to get the mafia off her back, even finding a way to tolerate her regular client, Sheriff Aaron Dwyer, who happens to be her old boyfriend.

Aaron Dwyer has his own problems. He's the face guy of the county, and the public is breathing down his neck for answers on why unemployed men have shown up dead in his jurisdiction. Pile that on top of losing his wife a year ago and raising two daughters.

But there's one bright spot in his life...Lucy.

Can Lucy and Aaron work together to solve the county's murders before it's too late for one of them?
