It's been a stressful couple of months for bartender, Hope Foster, so her best friend Ruby treats her to an afternoon of holistic pampering with therapist Pandora Williams. But what should be a relaxing getaway turns into a murder scene when Hope and Ruby stumble across Pandoraโs lifeless body in the kitchen next to a killer cocktail.
Hope is convinced that the police are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to suspects. But as she digs further into Pandora's past, it's seems she's opening the proverbial box. Twenty years ago, Pandoraโs daughter, Jenna, disappeared one night after arranging to meet her fiancรฉ, Tim, to break off their engagement. Pandora had always believed that Tim killed her daughter, although sheโd never been able to prove it. Is Pandoraโs murder connected with a decades-old family tragedy? Or has someone used the past as a convenient way to frame the fiancรฉ? With the police wearing blinders, itโs up to Hope, Ruby, and ex-FBI agent Vernon to find out the truth...at any cost!
