There is what you want and what you receive in life. Beauty is superficial and life can be distorted with the dysfunctional undercurrents of the psychologically deranged. But that shouldn't matter if you really love someone, should it? Karl Wright and Danny Morgan have formed an agency they call LIAISONS. Karl formulated the idea for this service after he met and married his beautiful wife Karen, who has a bi polar disorder.

Their list of clients include Grayson Murray, a reverend with technophobia.

The only way she has been able to relate to men is by becoming a completely different personality. She refers to herself as Suzette.

It becomes evident to the police that many problems involving Liaisons has unfolded in crimes including the slaying of several women in the city. Is the dating service liable?
