Description
Filming a movie on a sunny Florida beach may seem like working in paradise, but dealing with the brutal heat, a difficult director, and a leading lady with a serious aversion to seafood makes for a challenging task for Penelope Sutherland and her Red Carpet Catering crew. After two girls go missing during a raucous beach party thrown by the movie's director, the cast and crew fall out of favor with the Andrea Island locals.
When an eccentric celebrity chef is accused of the crime, Penelope steps in to help her former culinary school instructor find the truth. Surrounded by suspicious locals with a history all their own, she uncovers clues from the past, revealing an undercurrent of evil amid the powdered-sugar sand of their beach.
