A mountain-raised culinary prodigy risks everything in a cutthroat restaurant kitchen to escape her isolated past.
Fiona Smith possesses a culinary arsenal forged in total seclusion on a remote peak, where her grandfather honed her palate and the mountain served as both sanctuary and prison.

She trades thin air and silence for screaming tickets and withering scrutiny, every service a verdict on whether genius born in isolation can survive the brutal demands of a professional brigade.
