Isla is down on her luck. When a lawyer approaches her and says she's inheriting a grand estate in the small town of Provence, she doesn't believe him - until the lawyer brings up her mother.
The lawyer tells her that her father wishes to remain anonymous, but upon his death, tells her she'll inherit everything he has - and it's a lot - if she solves her mother's murder. Isla isn't sure what she wants to do, but the money is too much to turn down, so she accepts.
