In sunny Florida, the Alden children visit a dilapidated motel owned by Aunt Jane's friend, Kay. Determined to help restore it, they face mysterious sabotage—stolen paint, a flooded pool, and more. As the stakes rise, can they uncover the culprit and save the motel from being sold? The clock is ticking, and the mystery deepens with every twist.
