When Joni Ferguson (Georgie Parker) decides life is too short to play safe, she buys an almost derelict bed and breakfast in the Blue Mountains. Six months later, the business isn't doing very well. Joni's life is sent into a further tailspin at the sudden death of her trusted friend and confidante, local doctor Henry Forbes (Andrew McFarlane). However, Joni's son, Zac, is convinced that Forbes was murdered. Not only do his observations, research, Colombo-style deduction and simple 15-year-old intransigence yield results... but he also he unravels more than he bargained for.
