Unfortunately, a dead body proves to be a lot more challenging to dispose of than one might anticipate, especially when it is accidentally shipped in a cake cooler to the over-the-top billionaire wedding Meddy, her Ma, and aunties are working, at an island resort on the California coastline. It\u2019s the biggest job yet for their family wedding business\u2014\u201cDon\u2019t leave your big day to chance, leave it to the Chans!\u201d\u2014and nothing, not even an unsavory corpse, will get in the way of her auntie\u2019s perfect buttercream cake flowers.\n\nBut things go from inconvenient to downright torturous when Meddy\u2019s great college love\u2014and biggest heartbreak\u2014makes a surprise appearance amid the wedding chaos.
