Vivian Palmer's tenth anniversary celebration at The Perky Perk café should be a joyous occasion. With both her children home, her weight loss journey complete, and her innovative foam art technique drawing acclaim, everything seems perfect -- until renowned culinary journalist Victoria Clark collapses in the town square, gasping for breath despite not being near water. When Sheriff Cooper discovers a specialized medical foam in Victoria's lungs and a modified device in her luxury car, Vivian realizes this is no natural death. Someone engineered an impossible drowning right in the heart of Mocha Mills.

As Vivian investigates, she uncovers disturbing connections between Victoria's death, pharmaceutical research, and previous crimes in Mocha Mills. Victoria wasn't just reviewing coffee -- she was building a case against a dangerous medical technology with ties to local development schemes. With her children Jason and Zoe lending their technical and scientific expertise, Vivian follows a trail of evidence involving stolen innovation, falsified clinical trials, and a conspiracy reaching into the highest levels of pharmaceutical regulation.

In this final installment of the beloved Perky Perk Mystery Series, Vivian must use all her observational skills and community connections to expose the truth before anyone else falls victim to the deadly foam technology. As she faces her most sophisticated adversary yet, she'll also discover new beginnings for herself and her family, proving that even an empty nest can overflow with purpose, love, and the perfect pour of coffee in the small town of Mocha Mills.
