It’s finally her time to make a difference. Brenda Sheffield Rivers can hardly contain her excitement when the local hospital invites her to host a fundraiser at Sheffield Bed and Breakfast for cancer research. With so many ideas – she is spoilt for choice! After planning an elaborate Masquerade Gala, the night is full of dancing, juggling, music, card playing and good vibes. Until a guest slumps over the casino table – dead.

This is more than just a sugar rush. All suspicion points to a new face, Cary Buckley, who has just opened a new real estate office in the town. Detective Mac Rivers launches an investigation into this death, but Cary is insisting that he was only stepping in to help out the dessert caterer, Hope Williams. Everyone here is wearing a mask – masquerading more than just the truth.
