Being a talk show researcher sounds good, until you have to get down in the mud with the folks you want to have on the show. But Sophie is okay about it because she knows at the end of the day she gets to dine at her well-heeled parent's house or return to the security of her husband's protective arms. Her motives are pure, if not naive -<br>she sees herself as genuinely helping people, just like her father and husband.</p><p>But a glitch appears on her rosy horizon. While on a tough assignment in a ghetto she returns to her car to find a mysterious note instructing her to go to a motel and wait at the bar, there to see a tall, dark stranger who will 'enlighten' her.
