Clare má s Village Blend starosti. Kavárna sice dobře prosperuje, ale její zákazníci umírají. Stálá zákaznice najde smrt pod metrem. Byla snad v nějaké tísni? Detektiv Quinn je přesvědčený, že někdo má na případu soukromý zájem, zvláště po „sebevraždě“ další zákaznice. Bohužel, jeho hlavním podezřelým je Bruce Bowman - nový muž v Clařině životě.
