Now, Avelino is determined to reclaim the land and home he loves so much.

They're all taking up his prime parking to get into Honey Pott's Bakery. Josh is certain if Honey would quit parking her own over-sized SUV right smack-dab in front of his door, maybe people could see the store. Enter Milton Coleridge and his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch).

When no one takes a threat seriously, Flynne does the only thing she can think of. With money she has no authorization to use, a gun she’s never fired in her hip pocket, and more zip-ties than any agent should be allowed to carry, Flynne takes on protective detail for an unwilling client.
