It’s the Roaring 20’s, and a feisty orphan rises from the slums to become a doctor. Dr. Josephine Reva, Homeopath M.D., is a physician on a mission — she’s seeking equality in a male profession. When no hospitals will hire her, Josephine hangs her shingle as the area’s first Lady Doctor.
But her loyalty to the Hippocratic Oath will be tested under a Prohibition loophole. Nor is she ready to give up her botanical 'poison cures' for modern medicine.
Murder intrudes when a man is found dead from Aconite, a beautiful flower known as the Queen of Poisons. The Chief Detective believes poison is 'a woman's weapon', and Josephine has no alibi. The two begin a cat and mouse chase, running into some renowned New Yorkers.
Josephine must go undercover as a sexy flapper to spy. Complications arise when she falls for a debonair suspect.
Can Josephine unmask the killer?
Can she unravel her own dark past to follow her heart and her ambition?
