In a quiet Mississippi town in ''98-early 2000s, Smoke, his wife Annie, and his twin brother Stack share a small house held together by love, tension, and a dream they're all working toward. They split the rent three ways so Annie can save every dime from her bakery job to open the restaurant she's been dreaming about since she was a little girl. Soul food, real recipes, her name on the sign. Smoke's her rock-steady, loyal, no-questions-asked. Stack? He's always been close. Maybe too close. He never says it, but there's something in the way he looks at Annie, the way his whole mood shifts when she walks in. And Smoke, he sees it. He don't speak on it yet, but it's there. Still, they keep the peace. They move like a unit. They trust her. They always have.
