Cissie Crouch is a waitress in an American-themed bar and restaurant in Glasgow called "Bar L" whilst her husband Dorwood Crouch is in prison for a robbery she believes he didn't commit.
With the help of journalist Frank McClusky she hopes to clear Dorwood's name by investigating violent small-time criminal Fraser Boyle, who has links to the country and western scene in Glasgow. So Cissie and Frank go 'undercover' as performers with The Wild Bunch, meeting up en route with the McPhail Sisters, country and western singers and taxi operators.
