When her friend volunteers her pet photography services to the local animal shelter, Kiki Long finds herself partnered with a juvenile delinquent who is performing court-ordered community service.

Soon after, the girl is accused of setting fire to the home of a stuffy animal shelter board member. With the Sheriff's Department stretched thin, Kiki is asked to not only document the crime scene but to ask around about the teenager who's gone missing.

Kiki juggles her volunteer responsibilities and professional obligations while trying to put together a Thanksgiving dinner for the ragtag group she considers to be family.
