It's the Fourth of July and Whit and Eddie suddenly find themselves back in the good ole U. S. of A. just in time for a pool party in Daytona Beach.
Waking up in time to see the dawn from the back patio of their brand-new house on the beach is a wonderful way to start the day.
But then a wayward beach ball suddenly causes the day to take a turn for the irritating as they meet four guys who aren't quite as thrilled to meet Whit and Eddie as one might expect.
Being the richest men in the world doesn't guarantee undying affection, after all. In fact, it can mean the exact opposite and does more often than not.
In any event, the day continues and brings friends and family poolside for a festive gathering.
It's all fun and games until the phone rings and it's the Daytona Beach police.
A man seen entering Whit and Eddie's house earlier has been found murdered and the most likely suspect is the man's husband.
The questions keep piling up.
Is the husband who he claims to be?
Who dumped the body and why?
How was he really killed?
Why was the body left right by Whit & Eddie's house?
None of the answers are obvious until the one key slides into place and the whole truth comes rushing out.
