As the director of Barton Farm, a living history museum in Ohio, Kelsey Cambridge is underpaid and underappreciated, but she loves every minute of it. Determined to keep the struggling farm open, she plans to impress the museum's wealthy benefactress, Cynthia Cherry, with a Civil War reenactment on the farm's grounds.
Unfortunately, the first shot in the battle isn't from a period soldier. It's from Cynthia's greedy nephew, Maxwell, who fires a threat at Kelsey to cut the museum's funding. The next morning, things go from bad to worse when Kelsey discovers Maxwell dead. Now Kelsey is the police's number one suspect, and she must start her own investigation to save Barton Farm . . . and herself.
Who would have thought that a reenactment would lead to murder!
Kelsey Cambridge is divorced and living with her young son on a small cottage in the grounds of Barton Farm, a living history museum, she has arranged a Civil War reenactment long weekend culminating in a Ball, on the opening day the benefactress of the Farm (Cynthia Cherry) has arrived to see what is happening and she has brought her nephew Maxwell and his fiancee Portia with her. Whilst Cynthia is distracted Maxwell takes the opportunity to tell Kelsey that he will be taking over the Cherry Foundation and that funding will soon be withdrawn. Kelsey is somewhat stunned as Barton Farm is one of Cynthia's favourite non-profits within the foundation, but she is even more stunned when she discovers one of the re-enactors (Chase) with the dead body of Maxwell! Now she is in the position of suspect #1 and when there is another death it looks even worse for her, now against her better judgement she needs to team up with Chase to stop the Police railroading her, oh and keeping Barton Farm and her job would be good as well!
