His heroes have always been cowboys –
She doesn’t have any heroes –

Noah Zark is a farmer by trade, and a preacher on the side.  Last year, God told him to sell the farm and open an antique store.  The farm didn’t begin to cover the expenses of a new shop and all the items inside.  He is in debt!  The townspeople think he’s crazy.  What does a farmer know about antiques.  His wife was supportive – but a little scared.  His three sons were hesitant but eventually were supportive.  The community still thinks he is off his rocker.

Mystery – There are rumors that Noah is a thief… he owns an antique store.  He has two of everything… through his customers he tells truths that he’s learned from the items. He has lots of strange items – and his prized possession – his salt and pepper shaker collection.  Some of them are very rare and valuable.  A week before the show takes place, a set of flamingo salt and pepper shakers went missing from Widow Jackson’s home.  These weren’t just any items.  They were rare and very valuable.  VERY….  The artist who made them only made one set for his mother… and when she died, he sold them at auction.  Just couldn’t stand to look at them every day.  Widow Jackson has placed a $50,000 reward for anyone who finds the set and returns them.   Noah is in debt… following God isn’t always easy.  Needs a lot of money to pay off the debt for opening the store and buying merchandise.  He, naturally, is the prime suspect.  But Noah isn’t the only one needing the cash!!! The local banker, the best friend, the town gossip, etc. etc. etc. They all stop by in search of the one-of-a-kind, more valuable than gold, beloved flamingos!
