Veronica Mars meets The Golden Girls as event planner Cassidy Jamison and her four sixty-year-old employees race to solve a rocker's murder before the curtains close on their show and their business.

When Cassidy Jamison inherited her late grandmother's event planning business, she also inherited her grandmother's friends-four sixty-year-old women known around town as the Pearly Girls-as part-time employees. Now Cassidy barely has time to breathe between spending every waking hour trying to keep her business afloat and the Pearly Girls out of trouble and focused on event planning.

So when she lands a three-weekend event complete with a chart-topping band, she's thrilled. Until she and her chihuahua mix Elvis find the body of the Weathermen's lead singer in her venue's koi pond. With the help of the not-so-helpful Pearly Girls, Cassidy must stave off the bad publicity, navigate the prying questions of the local police department, and solve the murder before the media frenzy shutters her business for good, and takes one of the Pearly Girls with it.
