It’s time for the annual Gilliam Family Reunion and family members have come from far and doublewide to get updated on family business, and more importantly, to fill themselves with some Gut Bustin’ Grits! Grandma Irene’s recipe was so famous that when she succumbed to a fatal squirrel attack, everyone wondered who would inherit her fabled recipe. It was her grandson Bubba who got the recipe from her cold dead hands and he won’t sell it, share it, or give it away – over his own dead body. But when it comes to enjoying his very own inheritance, he only gets one mouthful before he drops over dead.
Who could kill their own family member out of such greed? Cousin Maude was mad because she didn’t Bubba had enough marbles in his head to keep the recipe a secret. How far would she go to protect a prize recipe? Cousin Carol Anne was hoping to use the recipe to hook herself a rich hubby and make money off of the recipe in a business settlement. Bubba stole his half-brother Schep’s girlfriend and the two had never been the same. And Grandpa Gilliam is just a plain old deaf drunk who wants to live in his own world. Hopefully Sheriff White can bring some peace to this family by dragging one away to jail!
Charles Goode hides behind a goofy exterior, but in reality he is the mastermind behind B.S. Enterprises. He is also the over zealous, puppeteer running everyone’s lives. The suspects of his death are all victims of his greed.
Charles Goode’s unfortunate past in the business world have caused him to go about doing things in a different way. Like, hiring Bradley Strait, some guy off a parking lot to run his multi-million dollar business. Did Bradley get greedy or did he just get tired of being told what to do. Or maybe, it was Cecelia Strait, his wife and Charles’ mistress who wants revenge after being dumped by both of them. Could Lotta Goode, Charles’ cute, but dumb wife possibly have discovered Charles’ masterplan and wanted to end it before she got dumped and left with no money? Perhaps, none of them actually did it. Why get your hands dirty when you can hire someone who has a certain flare for death like, Mafia henchman Guido Discenzo. Crackling bones are music to his ears.
But, everyone is a suspect, even the Oriental Chef / Private Detective. Buddy Brown appears at the B.S. Enterprises, company party uninvited and receives a mysterious note at the bar. Could he be hiding a motive to kill Charles Goode as well? Whodunit? Who knows. The guests get a chance to resolve the crime for themselves.
Everyone wants their slice of the good life at Del Ray Cabins and Marina but there are only so many spaces to be had. And when the owner Clarence Del Ray keels over in the middle of tense contract negotiations with the residents, foul play is immediately suspected as each of them squabble over leadership of the Home Owner’s Association.
Clarence was known for back-door dealings, including a few payments to the local city council member Otis Hankins, who recently had his boat dock repainted by the marina. This didn’t sit well with long-time resident Dave Davis, who has been trying to get improvements made to his street for years. He is especially bitter that his wife, Lorena, was Clarence’s secretary and he thinks they are having an affair. But when a And lines get even more blurred when local real estate developer Harlan Carroll shows up at the HOA meeting with an interesting offer.
Everyone is a suspect but one: local celebrity children’s entertainer Officer Matt must use his previous experience as a state police detective to solve the crime. Whodunit? Who knows. The guests get a chance to resolve the crime for themselves.
For tonight’s entertainment, we present the world renowned celerity psychic medium to the stars Madame Marie Dubois Empanada. Madame Marie has toured all corners of the world, dazzling thousands as she traverses the spirit plane to speak to our dearly departed celebrities and world leaders. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has been called a ‘must see event’ by entertainment critics as well as the world of the occult.
Tonight’s commune with the dead has taken an interesting turn. After making contact with a dozen well-known celebrities, Madame Marie was struck by a mysterious malady that caused her to fall unconscious before she could return the spirits to their ethereal plane. The only explanation is that one of the spirits are dead set on staying in the land of the living and made an attempt to take over Madame Marie’s body in the process. But who? And why? Was Babe Ruth trying to revive his former hall of fame status? Did Janis Joplin have more music in her soul for the world to hear? Did Frank Sinatra want to have ore than another night cap?
Join Marie’s faithful assistant Marcus as he interviews the spirits, tests their resolve, and maybe even judges a dance-off. In the end, you might even help him determine who tried to take one the body of Madame Marie.

Unfortunately for our daring heroes, foul dealings are afoot. An attempt has been made on Millie’s life prior to the announcement of the winner and it can only be assumed that it was to cover up the dastardly deeds of a Guild candidate eyeing for the prize. Was it famed archeologist Montana Smith? Flying ace Fanny Saerburn? Trailblazer of the Amazon, Nigel Whackenbush? Or any of the other of the globetrotting finalists?
Join last year’s winner, Major Alistair Stewart, as he and the Guild members try to uncover the culprit and the motive behind the attack on their beloved Ms. O’Nair.

It was always a mystery how someone as unlikeable as Harry Herrington could find a woman to marry him, much less eleven. It certainly didn’t hurt that he was the richest man in Camptown but even his wealth came from buying up businesses and destroying them. Throughout his century on this planet, Harry left a wave of broken hearts, dysfunctional families, and shattered dreams. So when he passed away at the ripe of age of 102, it was no surprise that everyone present at the reading of his will was only there for their cut.
The promise of a wealthy future gave way to fear and mystery as the last speaker at the reading informed the group that Harry Herrington was murdered. And that the murderer was someone in the room! Who could the culprit be? Was it his fifth wife Belle, the heavy drinking socialite on the verge of homelessness? Was Spike, his third stepson and wash-up rock star, trying to grab Harry’s fortune to revive his rock and roll career? Could his oldest daughter Ashley have gotten tired of not being accepted because her mom’s family was… Yankees? And who is the mysterious man in the shades and fedora?
Join Detective Dick Dickerson as we bring out the in-laws and outlaws, exes and hexes (yes, even witchcraft is involved) in an attempt to find out which ones are murderers… and which ones are just crazy.
