And in her rare free time, Sophie acts in Milo's latest student film. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With such a whirlwind life, it's no surprise that everyone forgets Soph's 15th birthday. But Soph's parents intend to make up for this mistake by throwing her a Quinceñera. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Meanwhile, a disgraced celebrity chef hears how Sophie's been proving her father's innocence and makes a desperate plea -- he wants Sophie to help him find the \"real killer\" who murdered his ex-wife. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the aid of some Alligatoids and a Mangrove Man, Soph hunts through the past... while someone else hunts her in the present.
