Saraphina Landry-Shay is an independent, smart, "stupid-happy" New York lawyer on a mission to bring justice to the wrongly imprisoned. But on her very first solo case, she is barely able to stay upright in her power chic stilettos. Continually distracted by the vibrant characters of the West Village, Charles Street apartment, and her dashing boss Lance Vega, Saraphina must decide if she wants to maintain her illusion of happy while simultaneously watching her life run wildly out of control. When some of her quirks prove costly and real danger is the threat, Saraphina must choose between her idea of happy or the consequences of her misguided, feeble control-choices that could very well cost the happiness or lives of herself and the people she has come to love.
