On the passing of the last brother-in-law, six retired sisters decide to pool their resources and purchase a suitable place where they can live out the rest of their lives. They settle on an old deserted plantation home, Kettering Wood, on Lake Kentucky in Tennessee. The mystery surrounding the plantation is laced with the memorabilia soaked with the deceased architect, Sir Charles LaTurrell's blood and evil deeds. The mystifying quest for answers takes the sisters to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., then on the the City of Lights, Paris, France. The plantation's mascot Buford, a goat, and his co-conspiritor Spats, a pet schnauzer, add a relentless hysteria to the puzzle ridden lives of the six strong willed sisters. The stolen memorabilia opens a Pandora's Box that eventually brings them face to face with the mysterious Helanna Dreamlace who lives alone in a cottage, hidden in Little's Cove just across Lake Kentucky.
