In 1918, James Brandon was sentenced to twenty years in prison for stealing valuable jewels from his employer, the wealthy Thomas Van Orden. Now, James's great-granddaughter comes to Magnolia Investigations to see if Meredith and Julia can help clear James's name and give her mother some closure before Alzheimer's takes what's left of her memories. When the investigation leads them to the history of Van Orden Industries, it soon becomes clear that someone else is also digging through the history of the company and the Van Orden family.
