Octogenarian Myrtle Clover is fed up with the bickering at the small town council meetings in Bradley, North Carolina. In a bold move, she decides to run for the vacant seat on the council, reasoning that she can bring some discipline to the chaos since she had taught many of the current officials.
However, it seems that chaos is still prevailing as one of the candidates is discovered dead...
Myrtle and her elderly partner Miles must work together to find the murderer before another person meets a similar fate.
