Description
The Plot
The Swifts is a whimsical tale that centres around the Swift family, where each member is bestowed a name that dictates their destiny from the moment they are born. Shenanigan Swift, however, is not content with the confines of her name, which brands her as a troublemaker. When her eccentric Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude becomes embroiled in a near-fatal incident, Shenanigan finds herself thrust into a thrilling mystery.
Determined to prove that she is more than just a label, Shenanigan teams up with her spirited sisters and clever cousin. Together, they delve into a tangled web of deceit, uncovering a multitude of suspects and a series of murders that shatter the family’s seemingly perfect facade. As they race against time to unearth hidden treasure, Shenanigan’s journey becomes not only a quest for answers but also a fight for her identity.
