When North Carolina antique dealer Abigail Timerlake makes
a bid of $150.99 on a truly awful copy of Van Gogh's "The
Starry Night," she's just trying to win Mana's approval by
supporting the church auction. Hopefully, she'll make her
money back on the beautiful gold antique frame. Little
does she expect she's bought herself a fortune...and a ton
of trouble.
When her ex-boyfriend shows up and offers ten bucks for
the ugly "Starry Night," Abby pops the frame and is
stunned to discover hidden behind the faux Van Gogh canvas
a multi-million dollar lost art treasure. Suddenly she's a
popular lady in hear old hometown, and her first visit is
from Gilbert Sweeney, her schoolyard sweetheart (according
to him), who claims the family's painting was donated by
mistake. But social calls quickly turn from nice to nasty
as it's revealed that the mysterious masterpiece conceals
a dark and deadly past and some modern-day misconduct that
threatens to rock the Rock HIll social structure to its
core. Someone apparently thinks the art is worth killing
for, and Abby knows she better get to the bootom of the
secret scandal and multiple murders before she ends up
buried six feet under a starry night.
