Fed up with her sister picking on her lack of culinary skills, Lana Lee decides to secretly take a cooking class in order to prove she has what it takes in the kitchen. It seems harmless enough until the course instructor - Margo Chan - is found murdered after class with one of the utensils used in her demonstration earlier that evening.

The attention of the police is immediately directed at the school’s staff members and students, including Lana, who was unfortunate enough to discover the body. In an effort to clear her own name, she decides to begin her own investigation - starting with the same group the police have under suspicion. When Lana’s line of questioning leads her on a wild goose chase back and forth between the school and Margo’s personal life, Lana begins to wonder if the guilty party is closer than she thinks.

Then as odd, threatening packages start showing up at Ho-Lee Noodle House, Lana fears that the killer knows what’s she’s up to, and if she can’t put the pieces together fast enough, it might be her that’s next on the chopping block.
