Norma Sherman is a singer. She's also an ex-con, just released from prison after serving two years for drug possession. Her goal is honorable. She wants to stay clean but soon finds out that it's not going to be easy to do so.
Nitpick: the timeline in this episode with respect to the others in the series is a bit off as Nicholas Cain mentions that he sent Norma Sherman to jail on a narcotics rap over two years before the episode takes place. Thus, it appears that Cain has been on his crusade against organized crime a bit longer than in conjunction with the remaining episodes in the series.
