Reluctant ghost whisperer Gianna Mancini’s mother loves collecting murderabilia–objects once belonging to murder victims. It’s become quite a hobby, to the point where she has a basement full of items. When Gianna discovers there’s a ghost living down there—attached to the dead woman’s handbag—Gianna asks the departed to move on. But the senior citizen, Betty, is determined to first get revenge on the person who pushed her down a flight of stairs. And she knows exactly who it is. Her best friend.
In an effort to help Betty go to the light, Gianna, Ma, Betty, and Gianna’s detective brother, Enzo, decide to take a road trip to Betty's hometown of Chance, MA to poke around to see if they can find clues to lead the police to this supposedly guilty best friend.
But the more they dig, the more secrets stumble at their feet, and before long, they realize there’s a list of suspects who could’ve killed Betty for her handbag. The local police don’t appreciate out-of-towners nosing around any more than the people in Betty's former life. Before long Gianna finds herself being chased, kidnapped, and threatened. Can she get to the truth before this road trip takes a deadly turn?
