A couple has their already tenuous marriage tested further by the arrival of a nanny. At 36, Sarah Weiss seems to have it all: a successful dental career, a beautiful family, and a supportive circle of friends. But underneath this surface lies a broken marriage, forever scarred by her husband William's affair with a younger woman. Just as Sarah contemplates launching her own private practice, she faces a devastating discovery: William's new hired nanny isn't who she claims to be. Torn between duty and desire, Sarah turns to her long-time friend and brother-in-law, Joseph, who has secretly been in love with her for years. As the tension mounts, long-simmering passions and old wounds rise to the surface, unraveling the relationships of everyone involved. When tragedy strikes, Sarah must decide whether to reclaim her life or let it burn to the ground.

Eboni Ames grew up in The Quarters-a tiny, but historic, Black settlement just outside Whitman, Arizona. Her classmate, Ahn Ji-Yeong, grew up in the only Asian family in Whitman and harbored a secret crush on Eboni. Eventually, they both left their hometown to follow their dreams. Eboni's vision of a being a celebrity chef faded in California, where the foodie scene was flooded with thousands of other wannabes, and her family soul food recipes weren't enough to catch the eye of foodies seeking flashier fare. Meanwhile, AJ became a K-pop and K-drama megastar, sitting at the top of the Billboard charts and the Netflix top ten. When Eboni is forced to return home and take a day job while trying to get her soul food catering business off the ground, she finds that AJ has come home too. The bright spotlights of the K-pop industry cast a very dark shadow, and AJ needs a break. Still carrying a torch for his childhood love, AJ offers his Korean fried chicken recipe to help draw attention to Eboni's business. As their lives become more and more intertwined, the heat turns up outside of the kitchen as well. But when their pasts come back to haunt them, Eboni and AJ will have to make tough choices about what they are and want to be to each other.
