Chris Tucker s perfect life has just gone up in smoke. The fire that destroyed the best restaurant in Asheville took his head-chef dream job along with it and the owner is walking away. Sure, Chris still has his beautiful home and blissful marriage to his soul mate, Matt Gallagher. But for the first time in his working life, he s unemployed and spiraling into depression.
Matt s trying hard to be supportive, but it s tough when every time he tries to get Chris to open up, the man shuts down tighter than a live clam. Maybe it s best to hide his hurt and back off. Yet as Chris s fruitless search for work wears on, Matt begins to wonder if his lover will ever come around.
As the tension between them reaches breaking point, Chris faces the fact that it could be the end of an era for him and Matt. Unless one sweet idea can turn his mounting troubles into a fresh-cut path back to the arms of the one man who makes him whole.
