After a public breakdown at an exclusive restaurant in Manhattan, Chef Jack Hartman returns to his small hometown in Florida. Above all, he wants to stay away from Poppy Winfield—the blonde, beautiful, and irritating daughter of his former boss—and the shrimp she threw at his head. Poppy, too, is looking for an escape—from her demanding family and from her reputation as a superficial influencer.
With their careers damaged, Jack’s only chance to get back to New York is to turn the abandoned family restaurant into the newest hotspot on the East Coast. Using her social media expertise, Poppy puts her skills to work promoting his opening night. As sparks fly and tensions rise, the question becomes: will their partnership lead to disaster, or will they be the perfect combination?
