Grace Anderson moves from Florida to Philadelphia to shake up her stale life. She gets a job via a temp agency as the assistant to up-and-coming artist Garrett Baros. Grace is steadily adjusting to the new job, new city, and new (yet still unpacked) apartment well when she discovers Garrett’s dead body in his studio.

Traumatized and unemployed, Grace is floored when Garrett’s widow, Jo, shows up at her door and offers her a job. But Jo only needs assistance with one thing: solving Garrett’s murder, something she doesn’t trust the police to handle. Grace doesn’t want to return to Florida with her tail between her legs, but she’s also clearly unqualified to investigate a crime. Grace hesitantly agrees to work for Jo, but while Jo plans to solve Garrett’s murder, Grace is just hoping they stay out of trouble until the police crack the case.

As the women work through Jo’s YouTube-inspired “murder board,” they pose as travel agents, retired strippers, and history buffs, each lie tailored to help them get closer to the truth. Grace balances her blossoming friendship with Jo and her secret communication with the (painfully handsome) officer working Garrett’s case, eventually realizing it’s not only Jo who needs closure from Garrett’s murder
