It seems men are more complicated than plants. Too bad love bloomed at the most inconvenient of times...

Since the victim was a maid, investigative resources were sparse, and the police hastily wrote it off as a random killing. But Lady Katherine and her friends believe it was nothing short of premeditated murder, and they vow to seek justice.

Will the best men... or women... win?
