When professional home stager Laura Bishop enters a competition to become the next TV home staging star, she figures it will be murder—but she doesn't expect it to include a body. As tensions rise and rivalries rage, a coded notebook flips the script and Laura's on the case.
But she's not alone. Her closest confidantes pitch in by sleuthing, eavesdropping, and even staging a sting to protect those near and dear. Yet she's still corralling a runaway teen, sparring with a handsome detective, and handling the shock of her life with a blast from her past. All while creating a cozy cabin retreat fit for first place.
Amidst constant cameras and glaring lights, Laura tries to style the stage and pull back the curtain on a killer before her career—and her life—get cut.
