Hannah Swensen juggles pumpkin spice orders for Lake Eden's Harvest Festival while sharing her cramped condo with Norman Rhodes and his cat Cuddles. Norman lost his farmhouse to arson over the summer when a criminal torched it to hide evidence. The fire left behind a corpse and a melted high school class ring from the local school. When another dead graduate turns up during the festival celebrations, Hannah suspects someone is hunting former classmates for revenge. She devises a trap by organizing an all-class alumni reunion at the school gymnasium. The plan requires help from her family and careful coordination to draw the killer into the open. Hannah hopes to expose the murderer's identity at the reunion, but she risks becoming the next victim if her scheme backfires.
