It's not every day you get drugged, abducted and dangled by your feet from the roof of Madison Square Garden. But that's just what happens to Zeo Loni Gillies. What starts out as an exciting trip to the city to catch a Ranger's playoff game turns into a nightmare case of mistaken identity. Zeo, a small town girl, content with her quiet life in the country has a difficult time coping with the headlong rush into action and intrigue. Pursued by the Russian Mob, unscrupulous politicians and businessmen, Zeo teams up with a trio of Federal agents. Unwittingly helped along the way by her gun-loving landlady, Rhoda Fitzle, Zeo finds the determination she needs to take her life back.
