Suzy, along with Josie and Chef Claire, has finally succumbed to her mother’s pressure and are in the Cayman Islands for some relaxation and time in the sun. But on their first night there, a major storm blows through, and Suzy and Josie head outside to rescue a stray Bloodhound they saw on the beach earlier in the day. But their rescue effort needs to be expanded when they realize the agitated Bloodhound is trying to protect a female Basset Hound and her six puppies.
When the power goes out while they’re trying to get all eight dogs settled into her mother’s garage, Suzy wonders if their first day of vacation could get any stranger. Her question is soon answered when the lights come back on and Wily, a local financier with a reputation for philandering, is found stabbed to death in the living room. Before Suzy has time to even focus on who might have killed him, Jerome Crenshaw, an incredibly wealthy resident, gets killed in his own house the same way as Wily.
And as she embarks on trying to solve the murders, it soon becomes apparent that her mother has some ulterior motives of her own that could force Suzy, Josie, and Chef Claire to make some life-altering decisions. Surrounded by the ocean, and confronted with a diverse group of individuals as well as a few stingrays that are just a bit too close for comfort, all three women begin to wonder, that if they had wanted weirdness and murder, why did they leave home in the first place.
Suzy Chandler, along with her business partners Josie (the Veterinarian) and Chef Claire are escaping the cold of the Winter in the Thousand Islands and heading to the Cayman Islands to spend a week with Suzy's mother. Of course life does not run smoothly for the three of them as an unexpected Tropical Storm hits the Island bringing down trees and trapping guests for dinner in the house. Earlier in the day Suzy and Josie had seen a stray Bloodhound on the beach and as they are worried about it they head out to catch it and bring it back, when they get there though they discover that he is protecting a Basset Hound and 6 puppies! As they arrive back and are settling the canine family in the garage they hear a piercing scream, and discover that during the blackout one of the guests has been stabbed, and a couple of days later the same thing happens to another person.
Now Suzy is finding out who wanted two men dead, oh and trying to figure out what to do with the canines, AND decide whether the three friends are going to set up a Winter restaurant and an animal rescue – so same old, same old for Suzy, Josie and Claire!
