Single mother Maria Bryce (Season Hubley) moves into Cabot Cove with her son Kevin (Jonathan Brandis), where she lands a steady but low-paying job. While struggling to make financial ends meet, Maria must also contend with her lecherous landlord. When the landlord is murdered, Maria is accused of the crime--but her new friend Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) isn't so sure that the cops have nabbed the guilty party. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
