Margery and Clementine are enjoying a peaceful middle age together in the small, idyllic town of Dewstow, eagerly awaiting retirement from their work serving meals at Summerview secondary school. Their calm life is shattered when their kitchen manager is found dead in the school's walk-in freezer. The police deem it an open-and-shut case of accidental death, but Margery and Clementine suspect foul play and take it upon themselves to investigate. As they inch closer to the truth, it becomes clear that someone will stop at nothing to keep them quiet. Will the perpetrator get their just desserts before time runs out?
