Uptight lawyer Peter Sanderson wants to dive back into dating after his divorce and has a hard time meeting the right women.

The two agree to meet in the flesh, but the woman he meets — an escaped African-American convict named Charlene — is not what he expected. Peter is freaked out, but Charlene tries to convince him to take her case and prove her innocence.
