A street-smart, sticky-fingered Valory teams up with piano-prodigy, agoraphobic Rook to solve the mystery of the empty apartment across the alley, which is suddenly filled with mysterious music and eerie doll parts. It’s Only Murders in the Building for tweens about how friendship can bring out the best parts of you.
