Soon after, a string of local burglaries hits the historic Savannah area and the Garlucci family's worst nightmare comes true when their store is robbed at gunpoint!
Desperate to stop the crime wave that seems to be targeting their family, Carlita and Mercedes rush to figure out who's behind the trouble in Savannah before it turns deadly.
