Rita Lucero, owner of Zydeco Cakes in New Orleans, can't seem to stop saying "yes." Even though the bakery is busy, Rita accepts a seat on the local small business alliance -- a group full of colorful characters like Chopper Shop owner Moose Hazen and his wife, Destiny. Following a heated alliance meeting, Moose pulls Rita out of the path of a speeding van. The next day Rita notices that her prescribed pain killers are missing. Then she discovers Destiny's body in the couple's shop, the stolen pill bottle in her lifeless hand.
