When the lights go out, the truth comes to light
Professional lighting designer Clementine Vale reluctantly returns to her quaint hometown of Branford Hollow to honor her late grandmother's wish—take over the spectacular light display for the town's famous Christmas in July festival. But when a transformer mysteriously explodes during testing and an insurance adjuster turns up dead, Clementine realizes someone is systematically sabotaging the celebration her grandmother cherished for decades.
With the Midnight Illumination ceremony fast approaching, Clementine must untangle a web of small-town secrets, corporate greed, and personal vendettas before the saboteur strikes again. Teaming up with her childhood friend Dizzy, a tech-savvy teenager, and her grandmother's former assistant who was initially her prime suspect, Clementine follows a trail of deliberately planted evidence and counterfeit parts that could destroy both the festival and her family's legacy.
