Chef Adam Jones had it all – and lost it. A two-star Michelin rock star with the bad habits to match, the former ‘enfant terrible’ of the Paris restaurant scene, only ever cared about the thrill of creating taste explosions. He cleans up and returns to London, determined to redeem himself by spearheading a top restaurant hoping to gain that elusive third Michelin star. However, he will need the best of the best on his side, including the beautiful Helene, in this film about the love of food, the love between two people, and the power of second chances.

She turns and he is taken aback when he recognises her face as that of his step-daughter who he has not seen in years. “It’s me, Anna,” she says coldly, her voice filled with hatred. Then she raises a pistol. Afrikaans with English subtitles
