Daniel (Aaron Abrams) is a talented but abrasive chef struggling mightily with his personal demons and the relentless pressures of running a high-end restaurant. Formerly a fashionable and successful mainstay of the culinary scene, his ambitious bistro is now on the verge of collapse unless he can deliver a brilliant tasting-menu dinner to impress a potential investor and head off the impending crisis. But his driven and uncompromising style –fueled in equal parts by ego, alcohol and painkillers –devolves frequently into disagreeable and even borderline abusive behavior, sparking conflict wherever he goes and threatening to destroy his already fragile bonds with trusted colleagues and intimates alike. As the obstacles pile up over the course of one increasingly frantic day and night, Daniel faces a rash of private trials and professional tribulations in a desperate bid to beat the odds and save the business he's sacrificed virtually everything in his life to build.
