Since our last visit to the Penrose, Gina and Sam's business has been booming, their fragile friendship has lasted and they are on the lookout for a new protégé in the kitchen. Unfortunately, it's not long before the dynamics of family, love, rivalry and life start to get in the way of their tranquility.

Business is booming at the Penrose a year after Leo's death, but there is trouble in store for the two women running things. Gina is left reeling when two men from her past reappear - one welcome, one not at all - while a frustrated Sam decides to show initiative personally and professionally, with potentially disastrous consequences.

A vengeful Gina sets out to give Sam a 40th birthday she will never forget. But Sam is not the only one in for a surprise.
