The death of Emmaline McCoy's beloved aunt Lydie in a hit-an-run accident shatters her world. Granted two weeks of bereavement leave from her corporate Los Angeles job, Emma heads to the small Northern California coastal town of Justice Bay to settle Lydie's estate and sell her waterfront cottage. As Emma navigates grief and lookie-loo home buyers, she opens a popup store in town to re-home the antiques and collectibles accumulated from her aunt's travels. The sluggish pace of the police investigation and a growing belief that her aunt's death was not an accident compel her to search for clues on her own. Her investigation uncovers alarming information and stimulates the onset of bizarre paranormal visions. Emma's out-of-body images and her amassed evidence point to the person at the wheel of the murder car, landing her in a killer's crosshairs. In her corner throughout the ordeal are her aunt's wise and quirky Siberian Forest cat Boo, her retired FBI Special Agent neighbor, Walter Kestrel, and his easy-on-the-eyes nephew Cooper Dane, a recovering attorney-turned-sailor whose skill set extends beyond tying bowlines and litigating torts.
