Amanda Shelton (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the owner/chef of a charming, formerly successful restaurant, which she inherited from her mother. While her cooking skills leave much to be desired, she is a charming and attractive woman who isn't afraid to show her emotions. Tom Bartlett (Sean Patrick Flanery) is a high-ranking executive at a famous department store. His hard-charging, practical manner has put him on the fast track to success. In short, Amanda and Tom would seem to have nothing in common. But a mysterious crab seller, a chance meeting in a food market, and something magical are about to change their lives - and bring them together.
