Carly, Maddie, Pilot and Cornelious have been waiting forever for their Seniors Only Cruise. After three years of solving crime in their small town, this trip is the relaxing break from Asbury they need. Dreaming of all the fun and drama-free adventures in store for them, the gang settles in for a calm summer cruise.

Soon after departing, things don't go quite as planned. With strange, new additions to their itinerary, Asbury's favorite sleuths detect something is amiss. When violence breaks out, Cornelious turns to the captain who quickly reassures everyone aboard. After all, what reason would the crew have to mess with a group of teenagers? Adding to their troubles is Cornelious' cousin Dane, whose feelings for Maddie have only grown stronger.

Excited to be away from his father and finally dating Maddie, Cornelious tries to ignore his cousin as his insecurities fester. After a stirring revelation from Dane, Cornelious retreats from his friends and finds solace in the ship's jolly Captain Dex. At the same time, Carly, Maddie and Pilot begin to suspect the crew, believing there's more than meets the eye with this cruise. Frustrated by Cornelious' withdrawal, the gang doubles down on their efforts to discover the crew's motives. Pulled into a dangerous game of who to trust, the gang is determined to find the truth—and mend their friendship.
