In a small town, raising a stink can be deadly. It's Big Chaos in Little Nashville! Melissa Fitzpatrick (aka Miss Fitz) is a blissfully married mother of four living happily ever after in a cozy-yet-bustling tourist village in Brown County, Indiana. That is, except for one month out of the year. Once the leaves change colors, her picturesque hamlet is bombarded by thousands of weekly visitors, stretching the quiet town's infrastructure beyond its limits. Autumn in Nashville, Indiana means "all hands on deck" as the residents show up to serve guests, play bluegrass music, run registers, and make money hand over fist while the getting is good. This year Missy is scheduled to help out her two best friends in their shops as usual, but when a murder goes under-investigated, this mom on the spectrum can't help but try and figure out the crime. Things quickly escalate and soon October gets really hairy. Can this mom with a mission juggle a busy family life, too many side gigs, interfering in-laws, and still solve the mystery? Spooky October + High tourist season in rustic Brown County = a simmer pot of autumnal magic with BIG changes afoot!
