Revenge is tough to swallow...
Things for Renee Landis are finally looking up. She just quit her dead-end job at a chicken shop after landing the coveted role of junior chef at London's pristine NOVA restaurant.
But it's not the restaurant that draws Renee in - it's the executive chef. Gracie Fitzgerald is as legendary as she is secretive; she's known not only for her succulent, signatures dishes, but also the notorious way she guards her kitchen.
When Renee stays late after work one night, she stumbles across something horrific in the walk-in freezer. Something, according to Gracie, she wasn't supposed to see - yet. As Gracie takes Renee through her plans for the restaurant, the young chef will have to decide if she's going to eat - or be eaten.
