Curtis Owens is a world-renowned chef and now, apparently next of kin.
The world respects a self-made man. With a successful New York City restaurant, a Michelin Star and a James Beard award under his belt, Curtis is the very definition. Defying his childhood, he's risen to the top of his field by designing a life that is structured and ordered with no surprises. Until he opens an email that rocks his world.
Megan Dunne has never met a spreadsheet she didn't like. Which is how she ended up with her business partner and occasional 'friends with benefits' in this sleepy midwestern town. About to open a second location in LA, she needs Curtis close to keep their grand opening plans running smoothly. That's the reason why, when Curtis announced his trip to Minnesota to settle the affairs of his estranged father, she boarded the plane with him. Isn't it?
Curtis' plan is simple: meet with the lawyer, sign a few documents, and be back in Brooklyn before his kitchen staff notices he's gone. But as he and Megan sort through his father's house and business, they are swept into a deeply emotional journey that makes both of them wonder if they've been playing by all the wrong rules.
Will following their hearts be a blueprint for disaster or is it the perfect plan?
