Marjorie Sims is a ready-to-retire accountant who dreams of sunny days spent on warm tropical beaches. But on her way home one night, her dreams go up in smoke when she witnesses the kidnapping of a Philadelphia detective. The culprit? The infamous Pennsylvania drug lord known as Kingpin.

With Kingpin and his dangerous minions on the hunt for Marjorie - the only witness to their heinous crime - the US Marshal Service steps in to help. And in the blink of an eye, Marjorie is whisked off to a quiet retirement community far away in rural Georgia called Magnolia Manor.

Tucked away in her new home, Marjorie becomes friends with two feisty residents, Beanie and Edna, who quickly figure out Marjorie's secret. And when Kingpin's men come sneaking around the Manor, Beanie and Edna vow to keep her safe - come hell, high water, or butter pecan ice cream.
