When the hospitality industry turns into a hostile industry ... Charlie Champagne's life as a Las Vegas Catering and Convention Services Manager is one of hectic schedules and frequent 24/7 chaos. Keeping the peace, spinning bad news into good, being therapist, complaint department and fix-it person all rolled into one just comes with the territory of a CCSM. But solving murders is not usually included with the job, so Charlie's intuition, investigative powers and steady hand are about to be put to the test. Meet a cast of quirky characters, most of whom find their way to the Libations on the Lobby ("LOL"), the ParaSpec's bustling haven for gossip, where Charlie often goes to de-stress from VIP events and putting out fires, all while hearing random melodies playing in her head that help her navigate the sometimes un-navigable. Will Charlie prevail and help solve a string of hideous murders, or will she herself fall prey to the murderer?
