Willa Abbot is use to parties and fun, but when her father mysterious disappears she goes after him. But she keeps it a secret, because her wealthy father has a bad habit of hunting treasure. She doesn’t want to expose the family to scandal. It is 1897, after all, and that kind of story would fuel the gossips. So, Willa goes after her father by taking a job as a Harvey Girl! Shocking! Although, it is a respectable job at railway Harvey Houses. They serve train riders along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe line. It’s busy and hectic, but Willa earns enough to fund her search, and work in the city where she was able to track her father — Kansas City. The only problem, someone turns up dead and a dashing Pinkerton Agent takes an interest in Willa!
