The Fourth of July is a big deal in Haunted Falls. Parades, picnics, performances and so much more highlight the celebration of the festive and patriotic holiday. Local diner owner, Sonja Reed is so consumed with plans for holiday events that she's had a brief respite with no communications or expectations from ghosts, witches, and other lively spirits. Unfortunately, the paranormal world seems dead set on reminding the busy gal that it does indeed exist and just might have some work for her to do. When another strange package shows up on her doorstep, Sonja can't help but wonder if it might not be another sinister gift from a persnickety witch looking to give her a scare. A fireworks accident claims the life of a local man, casting a gloomy pall over the festivities in town. When further investigation reveals that the incident was no accident, Sonja begins to suspect that there just might be a connection between the strange package and the murder. Holiday celebrations are quickly forgotten when she and boyfriend, Sheriff Frank Thompson, scramble solve the mysterious murder before the killer can strike again.
