Brewed Betrayal — A Coffee Conspiracy

Rival's cheap toxic coffee poisons workers; exiled vendor asked to save the day.

Aaron refuses to lower his standards when bean prices force his latte to six dollars. Across the path, Chad undercuts him with a three-dollar cup brewed from spoiled ingredients, triggering a wave of food poisoning that overwhelms the park. Forced out to a flea market, Aaron quietly rebuilds his reputation for quality. Now desperate organizers plead for his clean supply, yet returning means confronting the same pressures that drove him out.
