After their first attempt at a honeymoon resulted in disaster, Joe and Shell decide to Try, Try Again and are offered use of an isolated lakeside cabin in Montana. They arrive only to find it was NOT as isolated as indicated. Instead, they open the door to find a man's body in the kitchen, shot in the back of the head. Shell says "we're jinxed " but they check into a B&B and stay through threatening notes, a car chase, and resolve to solve the mystery, some of which is locked in the memories of a very old lady who persists in trying to protect the good names of family members long gone. A missing vehicle, a case of mistaken identity, a teenage boy and his 'mentally challenged' friend, and a Sheriff who insists on passing it off as a drug deal gone bad, add to their determination to find the truth.
