Description
Returning to Four Seasons after a long absence, Andréa Simard receives a major surprise at the notary's office: the elderly owner of the Independence Manor has just died, and he bequeaths his prized possession… to his mother! Having no interest in managing a luxury hotel, Mrs. Simard quickly hands it over to her daughter. Surrounded by David, her loyal butler friend, and Andy, her chef boyfriend, the young pastry chef tries to make the place her own while paying a final tribute to the deceased. But the wake takes a bizarre turn with the arrival of a certain Cam Tremblay, a shady man whose persistence leaves Andréa with a bitter taste in her mouth. The stranger claims that a tragic event occurred at the establishment several years ago and that he has come to solve it. When a hidden safe suddenly reappears, the mystery deepens…
Between a disastrous birthday party, an enigmatic aunt who shows up uninvited, and the discovery of another dead body, will Andrea risk seeing her mother's inheritance crumble to dust? One thing is certain: not even the softest chocolate cupcakes will be enough to soften the bitterness of the secrets that await her!
