Wedding bells are ringing in Rock Creek Village. But when a venomous villager crashes the nuptials, events take a toxic turn...
The long-awaited day has arrived-photographer Callie Cassidy's best friend is tying the knot. With a gentle snow falling outside and family and friends gathered inside, the wedding couldn't be more perfect. Even Callie's golden retriever, Woody, and her tabby cat, Carl, have donned tuxes for the occasion. And the icing on the cake? Callie's trainee, Braden, is acting as official photographer, with the assistance of his twin brother, Banner. Callie is as proud as if she were their mother.
But as the ceremony ends, an uninvited and apparently inebriated visitor barges in. The guests are shocked-and more than a little dismayed-to see Brian Ratliff, the twins' absentee father, who slunk out of town two years prior, leaving his teenage boys to fend for themselves. Several volatile confrontations ensue, concluding with an angry altercation between Brian and Braden.
When Brian later winds up in a coma, the victim of poisoning, suspicion mounts against Braden. Callie is incensed, certain the boy isn't capable of harming his father. Besides, plenty of villagers despised the man-any of them might have slipped him the toxin that rendered him unconscious.
As evidence accumulates against Braden, Callie fears he will end up taking the fall. With Detectives Raul Sanchez and Lynn Clarke stonewalling her, she turns to family and friends-including the town's feisty new cub reporter-for help. Together, can they prove Braden's innocence-and reveal the true culprit?
