It’s Mother’s Day in sleepy Longely, New York, and this
year, catering sisters Bernie and Libby Simmons help a
friend—who happens to be an overworked and underappreciated
mom—go to extreme lengths to teach her family a lesson. But
when a prank turns deadly, the Simmons sisters will have to
cook up a plan to clear their pal’s name…
Bernie’s college roommate Ellen Hadley is burning the candle
at both ends. She’s grown a successful business baking
treats for dogs and cats, and she’s a dutiful wife and
mother who somehow manages to fit all the cooking and
cleaning into her busy schedule. But after her children
forget her birthday and her husband forgets their
anniversary, her expectations for a memorable Mother’s Day
are understandably modest.
When Bernie jokingly suggests Ellen fake her own kidnapping
to set her family straight, she never imagined her friend
would actually go through with it. But when Ellen’s husband
follows her phony ransom note to an out-of-the-way hotel, he
finds the police taking her into custody after she discovers
a dead body in her room. Ellen swears she doesn’t know the
victim, but as police investigate her half-baked plans, they
turn up more questions than answers.
Bernie can’t help but feel guilty for helping her friend
concoct a recipe for disaster, so she and her sister Libby
enlist the help of Ellen’s kids, and together, they must
race to find the true culprit—before Mother’s Day is
postponed indefinitely…
