Sarah Grayson is busy at her store, Second Chance, and she's looking forward to an afternoon break from the hustle and bustle, tagging along to an open house with her friend, Detective Michelle Andrews.

Summer is around the corner and Sarah is making sure the store is stocked and ready for tourist season.
