New Yorker Ruby Shaw arrives in a hillside town in Arizona with a brand-new name, a duffel bag on her shoulder, and her daughter, Allie, at her side. Before arriving, Ruby witnesses a murder that lands her in the witness protection program. That decision means she's gone from being a successful artist to being a nobody in a postage-stamp-sized town called Paradise-a name that doesn't fit the former ghost town.

New Yorker Ruby Shaw arrives in a hillside town in Arizona with a brand-new name, a duffel bag on her shoulder, and her daughter, Allie, at her side. Before arriving, Ruby witnesses a murder that lands her in the witness protection program. That decision means she's gone from being a successful artist to being a nobody in a postage-stamp-sized town called Paradise-a name that doesn't fit the former ghost town. Even though their new digs are a little shabby, and there may be ghosts haunting the town, they are optimistic about their new lives, that is, until a neighbor turns up dead. Having just arrived in town, living next door to the victim, and without an alibi, the community members are suspicious of Ruby. A local deputy befriends her, but the deputy still points to her as the culprit each time they find a new clue. If matters weren't bad enough, Allie is having trouble fitting in at her new school, and Ruby can't seem to hold down a job. As they settle in, they meet the quirky inhabitants of Paradise: Bette-the chatterbox café owner, Flora-Allie's eccentric babysitter, and Derek-who runs local history tours, which he jazzes up with ghost stories of questionable veracity. Ruby's life improves when she meets a handsome cook at the local café who is passionate about succulents and cacti, and may feel equally passionate about her. Even though Ruby and Allie want to stay in Paradise, a US marshal has other ideas, as he threatens to move them to a new town after Ruby gets mixed up in the murder investigation. Ruby must find the killer before she and Allie lose their new home or even worse-their lives.
