Eloise Parker is a retired schoolteacher who lives by herself in the Massachusetts countryside, but she has a tenant in her barn, a man named Adam Clay, who leads a quiet life as a beekeeper. One day, Eloise falls for a phishing scam and is robbed of over $2 million, the majority of which belongs to a charity organization she manages. Devastated, she takes her own life. After Clay finds her body, he is immediately arrested by FBI agent Verona Parker, Eloise’s daughter. After Eloise’s death is ruled a suicide, Clay is released. Verona tells Clay that the group that robbed Eloise has been on the FBI’s radar for a while, but is difficult to track.

Wanting justice for Eloise, Clay contacts the Beekeepers, a mysterious organization, to find the scammers responsible.
