Clare Cosi, barista neoyorquina y experta en café, recibe una propuesta difícil de pasar el verano en la exclusiva mansión de un millonario en los Hamptons, con todos los gastos cubiertos, mientras ayuda a formar al personal de su nuevo restaurante. Acompañada de su hija, su exsuegra y su inconfundible receta de café helado, Clare espera disfrutar de una temporada tranquila lejos del calor de la ciudad. Sin embargo, la calma dura poco. Durante una lujosa gala, un empleado aparece muerto en el baño del anfitrión, en lo que parece ser un fallido intento de asesinato. En medio del caos, los fuegos artificiales del 4 de julio ocultan cualquier pista sonora y la policía se ve retrasada. Ante la incertidumbre y el peligro, Clare decide investigar por su cuenta. Lo que comienza como un verano idílico se transforma en una intriga donde cada detalle cuenta y donde los secretos de la alta sociedad pueden resultar tan peligrosos como un disparo en la oscuridad.
