"Kate is an ambitious chef, with the skills and talents needed to succeed in a competitive world of first-class cuisine. Kate's perfectionist attitude is the driving force behind her desire to succeed and the root of what denies her happiness.
While a tragic situation sets in motion a turn of events that impacts Kate's life, it also magnifies the lack of preparedness people feel when dealing with unfamiliar territory.
While trying to sort through the changes in her life a new man arrives in town -- ready to take on the world, or, in Kate's mind, her kitchen. From the moment Nick walks in, the lines are drawn, the egos take over, and the co-workers are in divided territory. His antics and charming personality have her teetering on the edge emotionally, but it's his sense of humor and laid back manner that wins friends and influences people.
The friendship moves both toward a point where reflection about life choices and priorities are most important when it comes to those you care about.
In the end you realize it's not what happens to you, but how you handle a situation that makes the difference."
