After her husband leaves, Laila loses everything: status, money, friends, and home. And to top it all off, her daughter Bea, a fan of true crime and detective series, is expelled from school. In a desperate attempt to start all over again, Laila agrees to move to Richmond and sort out a cluttered apartment in the luxurious Primrose mansion, populated by colorful retirees who start every morning with bourbon and gossip—in that order. But very soon the quiet life in the mansion collapses. The owner of a luxury penthouse in Primrose is dying, and shortly before his death, he announces a reward to anyone who helps solve the murder of his granddaughter, committed within these walls twenty-one years ago. Inspired, Bea immediately takes up the investigation. Laila helps her with reluctance, because she is sure that the trail of the killer has long since gone cold. But soon, a new murder occurs at Primrose... and Lila becomes the main suspect. Now, in order to avoid prison and, even worse, not to lose her daughter, she will have to solve both crimes...._________________________________________________________" There is nothing better than a mother and daughter detective duo solving old crimes in a luxurious house full of colorful tenants.
