A tea shop, a scone supplier, and a beachside mystery

Annie Hart has turned an inherited yarn shop into a thriving yarn-and-tea business, but she is preparing to sell and return to Los Angeles. Her effort to keep young scone supplier Toby Swanson with the shop leads her to enter him in a reality cooking show. Filming takes an unexpected turn when Annie and her business partner, Gray, find a body on the beach; the victim appears to have sampled Toby’s cherry scones and the shop’s rose tea. Annie enlists local yarn artists as she tries to identify the killer and protect the shop’s reputation. Crochet, baking, and a small-town crime investigation share the stage in this opening series installment.
