Sarah Morgan and her aunt Nessie set out to explore a former icehouse that has fallen into disrepair. Aunt Nessie's friend Louisa bought the old building with plans to turn it into a waterfront restaurant. Before renovations begin and the building is cleared out, Louisa offers to let Sarah take any of the abandoned ice-industry tools to sell in her shop, Heavenly Presents. But when Louisa doesn't show up to meet them and her home is found in disarray, they fear something terrible has happened to her. Can they locate her before it's too late?
Meanwhile, amid Sarah's quest for hidden treasures in the old icehouse, she stumbles across a stash of valuables hidden under a false floorboard. When people in town start recognizing their families' missing belongings, Sarah sets out to solve another mystery. Who hid these long-lost heirlooms in the icehouse? And why?
