Two brave dogs take on a ghostly mystery that only they can solve.
A restless terrier spirit seeks justice for her murder. When she crosses paths with two Pit Bull Terriers named Shadow and Faith she asks them to help her find out who murdered her and why.
Shadow and Faith accept the challenge and join forces with the ghost.
But this case is the strangest they've ever taken on. They discover that the terrier's death is part of a larger scheme centered on greed, deception, and danger. A villain wants something they can't have, and the pups must use their wits and teamwork to uncover the truth and stop a killer… before it's too late.

Tak. Tak. Tak.

Alvin's fingers tapped across the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the screen as lines of code scrolled past.

The cyber case he was working on was for a long-time client, and he was currently doing an upgrade to the database. But for the past five hours, he has been running into a lot of hidden bugs. By the time he was done with one, another popped up - it was never-ending.  I might lose my marbles at this ra- Before he could complete his sentence the light suddenly went out, turning back on a second later. No, no, no.... come on!! Alvin's frustration echoed through his study as he cursed under his breath. He was caught between standing and sitting, his eyes fixed on the screen in disbelief.

Faith bounded towards him, her tail wagging furiously, and playfully nudged him with her wet nose. Alvin couldn't help but smile, despite the situation he was currently in. It's OK. I'm fine. Come on, let's go. I guess I'll retire for the night. He sighed, running a hand
