Kari Stuart's life is going nowhere - until she unexpectedly wins the lottery. The twenty-nine-year-old instant multimillionaire is still mulling plans for her winnings when trying to rescue a bossy black kitten leads her to a semi-abandoned animal shelter. They need the cash - Kari needs a purpose. But when the town's dog warden turns up dead outside the shelter's dog kennels, Kari finds herself up a creek without a pooper-scooper. With the help of some dedicated volunteers, Kari must prove her innocence all while trying to save a dog on death row.
