While homeschooling her five children, Rainbow Bailey spends her days knee deep in lesson plans, laundry, and science projects. Between helping run her husbands sandwich shop and preparing for the town fundraiser, Rainbow's plate is full. One night off, she discovers a body wrapped in plastic and tossed into a dumpster, turning her whole world upside down.

Charlottesville's new Chief of Police, fresh from the big city, is struggling to adjust to small-town life. With no good clues to follow, Jonathan Flint sets his eyes on Rainbow as the prime suspect.

Will Rainbow and her kids, with their unending curiousity and thirst for answers, be able to convince Chief Flint that she had nothing to do with poor Harmless Harvey's death?
