What is even more of a mystery is how the sisters are going to raise the money to pay the taxes on the huge family property.
When Morgan is accused of killing local shrew Prudence Littlefield, the local Police Chief isn’t interested in looking for the real killer. Only the new police officer, Jake Cooper is willing to believe in Morgan’s innocence.
