Reece Parker is a mixologist—shaken by his recent breakup, stirred up in a mystery, and searching for proof of his innocence...
After breaking off an engagement with his fiancée, Reece Parker opens Subplot, a literary-themed underground cocktail lounge in his quaint hometown of Hope Mills, Pennsylvania. While launching a new business temporarily distracts him from self-pity, Reece's regret is compounded when he stumbles upon a customer's body behind the lounge after a whiskey club meeting gone wrong. As if he wasn't already on the rocks, his ex-fiancée's big brother is a police officer on the case. Reece takes matters into his own hands to prove his innocence, save his new lounge's reputation, and restore peace in his beloved town. But as he seeks out the victim's killer, will he meet his own bitter end?
