A Very Woodsy Murder

New motel owner Dee Stern has checked out of the familiar comforts in Studio City and checked in to the quaint village of Foundgold. Running a rustic getaway in the woods sure beats LA trafficuntil murder ruins the peace and quiet . . Down-on-her-luck sitcom writer Dee Stern is flipping the script. Twice divorced and wasting her talents on an obnoxious kids show, the lifelong Angeleno embraces the urge to jump in her car and keep driving. It''s a road trip with no destinationuntil she pulls into a mid-century motel filled with cobwebs and retro charm. Nestled in the shadow of a national park, its a time capsule of a place that, like her, could use some work. So, in the most impulsive move of her life, Dee teams up with best friend, Jeff Cornettawho happens to be her first ex-husbandto transform the aging ranch into the Golden Motel-of-the-Mountains, a hikers oasis on the edge of the wilderness . . But Dee and Jeff soon realize there couldnt be two people more unprepared for the hospitality business. Theres also the panic-inducing reality of prowling bears and a general store as the only shopping spot for miles. Living and working in the middle of nowhere takes some getting used toespecially when a disrespectful guest ends up murdered! Now, with the motel duo topping the suspect list, Dee must steer clear of a meddling park ranger, face her past in show biz, and determine if the killer is a local or tourist. Because as she quickly finds out, there are many things worse than a one-star review.
