 Hairstylist Marla Vail and her detective husband Dalton are delighted by every aspect of their new home, until their next door neighbor illegally erects a fence on their mutual property line.

Marla’s hopes for making friends are ruined by a resultant argument between Dalton and the man, who happens to be the Homeowners’ Association President. Things grow worse when their neighbor is found dead in his home the next day. Despite a suicide note, Dalton suspects foul play, but he’s removed from the case due to a conflict of interest. At her husband’s suggestion, Marla gets to know her neighbors better. One of them might have had a reason to want their president dead.
