While working on a DIY project at her newlywed daughter's house, amateur sleuth Ginger Barnes sees a bag of bricks being dropped from the neighbor's third-story window. Soon what sounds like muffled gunshots sends her racing for her phone. Eric, who lives in the house with his grandmother, claims the elderly woman is obsessed with mystery novels. Yet after she falls down a flight of stairs, she's so frantic to keep Eric away that Gin must intervene. Was the so-called accident attempted murder?

In her husband's eyes, Cissie Voight can't do anything right. Gin occasionally helps the frazzled young mother, and when Cissie needs a dresser carried upstairs, Gin solicits Eric's help. Bad move! The electricity between the two new acquaintances sparks a chilling premonition. This time Gin's good intentions may produce grave consequences—for everyone involved.
