When you move to a new town to outrun grief, the last thing you expect is a job in a chaotic kitchen-or Richie Jerimovich. Still raw from losing your boyfriend, you bury yourself in work, knives, heat, and long nights that don't leave room to feel. Richie is fighting his own demons: a divorce, a shattered sense of fatherhood, and the weight of realizing the life he believed in wasn't real. Two broken people collide in the pressure of the kitchen, where sparks fly, walls crack, and healing comes in unexpected ways. Sometimes love doesn't fix everything-but it can teach you how to breathe again.
