What is Poker Face about?
Follow Charlie Cale, a woman with an extraordinary ability to tell when someone is lying, as she hits the road and, at every stop, encounters a new cast of characters and crimes she can't help but solve.
A woman with an uncanny lie-detecting ability encounters whimsical mysteries and pulpy crimes on the open road.
Cozy and earnest, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
