When her father, Michael (Ross), becomes a person of interest in the untimely death of his ex-business partner, Wayne (Will Roberts, “Oppenheimer”), Lisa (Wilkerson) must do whatever she can to help. Though reluctant to do so, this means she will need to enlist the aid of her mother, Gabbi (Harry), to lend a hand (and her brain). Together, they work through the list of other possible suspects, including Wayne’s jealous ex-wife, his new business partner, and the business manager who knew where Wayne has been hiding his money.

Gabbi’s (Harry) longtime friend, Kimberly Stark (Helene Udy, “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”), is finally selling her home after residing in it for many years.

But after questioning Kimberly, Gabbi points Lisa (Wilkerson) and her partner Rick (Rogers) in another direction.
