Financially challenged paranormal investigators, Jack and Daisy Foley, check into the Tunie Hotel looking for Santa Anna's gold to save their internet program. They interfere with a local quilting group by taking up reserved rooms at the hotel, which makes Grace Howe, owner of Fabricadabra, very unhappy. The ghost hunters find the location of an old brothel under Butch Allman's Garage parking lot, which could be a key to the gold. After the owner of the garage is found dead, they break through the pavement with a jackhammer. Butch Allman was not an easy man to deal with and the town suspects he refused to pay a local gang, the Alamo Runners extortion money to keep his business intact.

When a second man is murdered, Nora finds there is a connection between the two men that no one else suspects, not even her boyfriend, Tuck Watson, who is investigating the case for the local police department. Tuck has other things on his mind. He would like for Nora to move in with him. Nora has trouble saying yes, even though she is in love with him.

Nora Alexander, the owner of the Tunie Hotel in Piney Woods, Texas, finds herself playing host to a team of ghost hunters in search of the ghost of Sam Houston and a lost chest of gold.
