In this original mystery, diner owner Mabel Davison cheerfully serves coffee and pie while single-handedly raising her two young boys in the sleepy mountain town of Blue River.

Her quiet routine gets rocked when a teen girl, who had passed through the diner, is murdered and her body dumped at a local sawmill. Sheriff Dan Gibson looks no further than the teen's black boyfriend, Winston Washington, a known drug dealer.

Mabel fears Dan's only trying to keep the peace in a town rife with racism, and her big heart won't let that stand. He warns her to stop digging, too afraid to catch the attention of a local drug lord who rules this land with an iron hand.

But as Mabel's unlikely investigation draws sinister interest from the gang, the killer gets closer too…
