In the midst of the Great Teacup Shortage, Lily Roberts, a tearoom proprietress in Cape Cod, faces mounting pressure. The situation escalates when a family dispute over an antique tea set turns deadly, prompting Lily to investigate before another crime unfolds. Afternoon tea is not just about delightful brews and treats; it hinges on the elegance of fine china teacups, and with her inventory dwindling, Lily seizes the opportunity to visit an antiques fair for replacements. There, she discovers a charming Peter Rabbit-themed tea set, ideal for children's events. However, her excitement is short-lived when Kimberly, a woman with a rude demeanor, demands to buy it back and later retrieves an envelope hidden in the basket. Complicating matters, Lily’s acquaintance Rachel is also searching for the tea set, as she and Kimberly are half-sisters on a quest for their mother’s will. Lily finds herself entangled in their drama, especially when her ex-boyfriend becomes involved. The situation takes a dark turn when one sister is found dead at Lily’s grandmother Rose’s B&B. Is this merely a case of greed, or are there other suspects? Lily, Rose, and their friends must engage in clever sleuthing to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
