While reporting for the Womenâs Journal newspaper, Matilda is sent to cover the visiting âFreak Showâ and to interview Mrs Anna Tufton, a giantess. During the interview, the giantess slips a note to Matilda begging for help to her escape the show she is forced to do by her husband. But when the giantessâs husband is found murdered; the giantess is a likely suspect. Matilda enlists the help of her lawyer brother, Amos, to prove the giantess is no killer and to free her from a life of exploitation. But close family friend, Detective Thomas Ashdown â who has feelings for Matilda having known her since childhood â would prefer Matilda was nowhere near his murder case. There is mystery, danger, and love afoot!
