The election for the new sheriff is approaching, and there is great excitement in the idyllic Lake Eden. Baker Hannah Swensen is busy preparing for the election party at her cozy café, Cookie Jar. For the first time, her brother-in-law Bill plans to challenge the incumbent, Sheriff Grant, who has been causing unrest in the town with questionable methods. But then Grant's body is found in a dumpster, and Bill is considered the prime suspect. Completely absurd, Hannah is sure of it and already has a recipe in mind that will surely bring the murderer to justice.
