Gifted pastry chef Ella spends three years turning the small bakery left by her parents into one of Los Angeles’s hottest dessert shops. But when she asks for her share of the profits so she can rebury her mother by the sea, her stepmother, Victoria, and two stepsisters reveal their betrayal: they have seized the bakery, claimed her mother’s recipes, and conspired with the family lawyer and Ella’s boyfriend to leave her with nothing. Cast out, Ella uses her last thousand dollars—and the support of her childhood friend Noah—to open a run-down shop across the street. As her former family tries to blacklist, copy, and destroy her, Ella vows to fight back with the talent no one can steal and reclaim everything her parents left behind.
