Storyline
In spite of the fact that it seems counterintuitive, they complement one another well. Paul is quiet and cautious, and he is also concealing a great deal of grief at the death of his father. Joanne is feisty and protective, and she is a survivor. On the other hand, they become closer through the great dishes he prepares in the kitchen and the pleasure he gets from them. They find themselves in a downward financial spiral when the hotel where they work closes. This spiral threatens to ruin not just their ambitions for a successful cookbook, restaurant, and hopes for the future.
