Tony holds an exclusive pasta recipe and partners with Uncle Sal, agreeing to split profits 50/50. After three years of $1.2 million in net profit, he only gets $10,000 as his share. Heartbroken, Tony pours out his secret sauce, lays off staff and shuts the store. Uncle Sal opens a fancy copycat shop but fails without the core recipe. With Grace’s support, Tony reopens with an upgraded recipe and becomes an instant hit. Desperate, Sal hires people to copy his pasta, takes out a mortgage to fake a century-old brand and streams for clout. The two finally face off at the pasta contest!
