Avery Barks, a volunteer search and rescue dog trainer, is close to landing her dream job at the new animal rescue sanctuary outside of town. With her fun-loving golden retriever Chevy by her side, all seems to be coming together nicely for Avery - a new job, a case of puppy love for Chevy, and a potential new boss that's not so bad on the eyes. She soon discovers that she should be careful what she wishes for. Before her interview is even over, a cadaver dog finds a dead body at the sanctuary. As strange things keep popping up at the new job site, she and Chevy find themselves at the center of a potentially dangerous game they never signed up to play.
