What if anyone could file a lawsuit without an attorney, and AI would be the judge? What could go wrong? Condo lawyer Joshua Fyler soon finds out when he's flooded by a tsunami of bizarre cases.
Freelance reporter Phoebe Roark is covering a criminal trial: a demure woman with cute little Chihuahuas is accused of shooting another dog near her HOA. Joshua wants to know how the HOA lost half a million bucks. They team up to find a link.
Following insider tips, Phoebe digs into a prison training program where a convict wants to run for Congress. All he needs is a pardon.
Phoebe's reporting is met with mounting threats until she mysteriously disappears. Launching a desperate search, Joshua gets help from an ex-love seeking a refresh button. All she wants is a pardon.
Pardon Me? is a fun caper from Midwestern cultural tensions to the calm sea at Cannes, bucking headwinds from AI.
But what do cute little Chihuahuas have to do with it?
