What begins as a long-overdue vacation quickly veers into unexpected waters. All eyes are on the ship’s ambitious new stage production and when the star performer is injured just days before opening night, the spotlight shifts to a high-stakes whodunit. Suspicion swirls, and it’s clear someone in their inner circle knows more than they’re letting on.
 
With tensions rising, it falls to Grover’s sharp-witted mother, Millicent, to trust her instincts and uncover the saboteur before anyone else gets hurt.
