A Holly Jolly Christmas is all that artist and part-time psychic, Peter Brandon and his husband, private investigator, Jeff Stevens expect when they visit their friends, Andrew Connor and David Angelo who had moved to New York City, one year earlier.

All that changes when a party guest is murdered and Andrew is considered the prime suspect! It’s up to Jeff and a sympathetic NYPD detective, Nick Fallon, to try and clear Andrew’s name. They are, in turn, aided and hindered by Peter’s erratic psychic abilities ― or disabilities as he calls them ― leading them to a powerful and unexpected showdown when the real killer is exposed.

Along the way, new friendships are made and tested, and one is irrevocably destroyed by lies and betrayal.
