Jennifer Shannon is an antique store owner who has a keen eye for more than just collectibles. Much to her husband's dismay, her creative abilities often lead her into fatal situations. When her daughter's sorority plans to have a garage sale to earn money for a local animal shelter, the mom's are more than willing to chip in. One in particular, the step-mother of one of the girls, hopes to donate some of her mother's old junk that's been piling up in her attic. But it turns out it's more than just junk. Suddenly the step-mother is found dead, supposedly by a mere slip of the foot, and a $100,000 painting is missing from her mother's attic. Jennifer Shannon can't help but contradict the authority's assumption that it was an accident and ends up finding herself caught as the main subject in a deadly portrait.
