Eight years ago, Michigan retirees, Jack and Beverly Donnelly, had helped Libby Newton recover from an unspeakable tragedy. Now the tables are turned and it's the old couple who need Libby's help when the most recent consequences of Beverly's progressing dementia have left the old couple homeless. Libby, now the general manager of Banyan Bay Resorts, one of Orlando's premier timesharing properties, secretly stashes the old couple in a new luxury unit intended for the resort's VIP guests until she can find them a new home.
But the problems start almost immediately as Beverly's dementia leaves her in a state of constant confusion over her unfamiliar surroundings and when she announces that she's seen "Thanksgiving pilgrims" unloading boxes behind the resort's pizzeria, Beverly's announcement falls on deaf ears - until Rebecca Kendall, an attorney from Seattle, shows up at the resort a short time later, trying to retrace the last steps of her nineteen-year-old Amish daughter, found dead in a south Florida motel six weeks earlier. Libby doesn't believe the two incidents are connected until Beverly is found dead a short time later, the tragic victim of a double homicide.
With the help of her sister, Mia, who's in Florida doing an exposé on the elusive treasure salvor, Dain Lyons, they retrace Beverly's last steps - only to stumble upon a killer who soon has the sisters convinced that poor Beverly had been the sanest one of them all.
