Arial Kingston is an insecure 25-year-old Wisconsinite, who recently inherited a property with two houses in the beautiful coastal town of Pacific Grove, California. So, things must be looking up for her, right? Nope.

At the top of her to-do list is ridding the guest house of termites and launching her dog-sitting business. While grappling with the unexpected financial burden and complications of homeownership, her life becomes more challenging when she discovers a partially decomposed body in a crawlspace.
