The Artzy Chicks and their menageria of pets are busy teaching painting, selling art and mixing gallons of their favorite wine slushees for hundreds of resort guests when they learn of a murder on the top of the mountain.

Of course, as you can imagine, Lily and LauraLea quickly become involved in the investigation to the point wherethey almost lost their lives.
