Who wouldn’t want to vacation in the French Riviera?

American artist Remy Valente and his wife Vero are delighted to spend the summer along the Côte d’Azur, drawing inspiration from every bend in the coastline. When his friend and art dealer requests a painting of his Chihuahua in the style of his beloved Cézanne, Remy is happy to comply. Late that night, Remy visits his friend’s flat to start the sketch. He takes it home, intending to finish the next morning.

Instead, he’s waylaid by a detective. Soon after Remy leaves, the Chihuahua wakes the neighbors because his master has been murdered! Remy is the first suspect. He clears his name, but a family member might be the next suspect! Remy has to identify the real killer before the wrong person lands in jail. Join the artist and his friends along the French coast for a humorous, artful crime.
