Brownies, bribes, and a body on the beach.... Suburban mom Jill Andrews has two young kids and a husband who travels more than he’s home. Until the day her golden retriever Goldie finds the body of her awful neighbor on the beach, her biggest concern is whether or not it’s the right time to re-enter the workforce. Unfortunately, the deceased wasn’t just a bad neighbor, he was a horrid landlord as well – to half the town of Ericksville, including Jill’s sister-in-law Desi, who’d recently been feuding with him. When the stress of being the police's top suspect lands Desi in the hospital with pregnancy complications, Jill must navigate her own mom-life crisis, sift through a tangled web of secrets and lies, and discover the identity of the real killer before it's too late.
