Acclaimed chef, Abby Sawyer has been offered a chance to host her own cooking show. The catch is that it involves leaving Blushing Bay, North Carolina. There's nothing left for her in the small coastal town anyway. When she gets locked in her restaurant's basement with her estranged husband, however, she's not going anywhere. And she'll either end up killing or kissing her ex before the night is over.
Even though they've been separated for two years, commercial fisherman Sam Sawyer is devastated when he's served divorce papers. He refuses to sign until he and Abby have talked. Knowing she's alone at her restaurant this weekend, he heads over and finds her downstairs in the basement—just before the door slams shut and locks them in. Being trapped in a cellar means there's nowhere to hide from the secrets they've been harboring. Sam is putting everything on the table tonight, including his heart, and hoping to win Abby back for good.
