Storyline:
Tom and Goldy, both nervously excited, are finally going on their first official date, Tom going all out for tickets to a reunion concert of The Faithfuls, Goldy and Marla’s favorite band as teenagers. The band disbanded twenty years ago following the death of its songwriter and bassist Abby Flannagan in a car accident. The band’s longtime manager Nicola Martens has only now been able to convince the remaining three estranged band members, guitarist Derek Russo, lead vocalist Selena, and drummer Jax Flannagan (Abby’s brother) to reconvene for this one time only reunion concert in tribute to Abby. Nicola, treating this event like old times in considering them all as family, even rehires their longtime sound engineer and electrician, Sam Baker. Goldy is surprised to learn that Richard, who never liked the band, is also attending the concert with his new girlfriend, Claire Weller, a superfan in being the president of the band’s worldwide fan club. The nature of the date changes at the last minute when Goldy is hired to do the catering for the band, Goldy and Tom who will still be able to spend much of the evening at the concert together. The evening turns on a dime when someone associated with the event dies in front of the entire crowd. What is initially deemed a possible accidental death is eventually deemed murder. Tom and Mason, with Goldy and Marla’s help, have to figure out if anyone in or associated to the band would have wanted to kill the victim, if the victim was the intended target in there being last minute changes to the event, and/or if it was just the beginning of a larger plot against the band as a whole. There is also a slight problem with Goldy and Marla being potential suspects in there being issues with the food provided.
