Maddie Moore (Roden) is a concierge at a hotel in Detroit, Michigan. She moonlights at Detroit Free Press in their tipline department.
Most nights, calls run anywhere from alien sightings to lost cats. One night, however, Maddie receives a cryptic call warning of a jewelry heist. When Maddie brings this to the police, she finds that her usual, complacent contact has retired and has been replaced by the newly promoted Detective Beeks (McNally). Unfortunately, despite his stellar reputation as an officer, Detective Beeks doesn’t take Maddie’s anonymous tips any more seriously than his predecessor.
Determined to Help
Maddie, who has always taken exhaustive notes, isn’t ready to let it go. Using an app that allows her to listen into the city’s police scanner, she overhears a dispatch call about a jewelry heist involving a possible homicide. Immediately connecting it to the anonymous tip, Maddie rushes to the scene of the crime only for Detective Beeks to turn her away. Undeterred, Maddie decides to investigate on her own, sometimes using her day job as a cover, and she continues to cross paths with Detective Beeks.
When Maddie’s insights prove to be useful, Detective Beeks reluctantly joins forces with her. However, when the investigation takes a dangerous turn, Maddie begins to worry that her number just might be up.
