When Cherry Tuckerβs invited to paint the winning portrait for Big Rack Lodgeβs Hogzilla hunt contest, it seems like a paid vacation. Back in Halo, Georgia, a Hatfield-McCoy-style standoff builds, forcing Luke and Cherry to keep their relationship secret. Sheβs ready for a weekend away, hobnobbing with the rich and famous of hunting.
But as the Georgia sunshine turns to bleak December rain, Cherryβs R&R goes MIA when she finds a body. While the police believe the town drunk took an accidental spill, Cherry has her doubts, particularly when a series of malicious pranks are targeted at the rifle toting contestants and sheβs warned off investigating. With loyal companions at her side β sort-of-ex-husband Todd and a championship bayer named Buckshotβ Cherry tracks suspects through a forest of pitfalls and perils. And all the while, a killerβs stalking the hunt party with Cherry and the contestants in their crosshairs.
