Helen suspects a former employee of Martha who sold drugs out of her bookstore. Or, it might be Martha's abusive husband. Helen is shocked when Martha's son is arrested for her murder. Helen solves the crime by unraveling a decades-old secret with the help of her cat, Oliver. The secret links an elderly woman who suffers from Alzheimer's, Martha's son, and a man from Martha's distant past who now takes a romantic interest in Helen. Alone in her antique store at night, the angry killer confronts Helen.
