Annie's friend and fellow shop owner Ves Roundtree is a very wealthy woman. Upon her death, several cash-strapped islanders are in line to collect life-changing inheritances. The problem is, Ves is very much alive. Annie hosts a dinner for the prospective beneficiaries, and, not long after, Ves suffers a bad fall that was no accident. Even though everyone at the table has a motive, the case is starved for evidence. When one of the suspects is found floating in the harbour and Ves disappears, Annie and her husband spring into action to catch a calculating killer before greed takes another life.
