With her wedding just a week away, Mattie is reluctantly drawn away from Timber Creek to assist in the urgent search for a celebrity’s missing child on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Accompanied by her loyal K-9 partner, Robo, Mattie faces treacherous terrain, relentless rain, and suspicious locals who may hold the key to unraveling the mystery.
