Gusty's cafe has been a community hub in Quinnie Boyd's small Maine town for decades. Quinnie's dad runs the restaurant, just like Quinnie's granddad and great-granddad before him. But the family business now has unprecedented competition with the opening of Restaurant Hubert. The work of a bad-boy chef from Boston, the fancy new restaurant offers an experimental, farm-to-table fine dining experience to Maiden Rock. When one thing after another goes wrong at Gusty's, Quinnie's dad assumes he's just having a run of bad luck. But Quinnie suspects sabotage! And her hunches have been (at least partially) right before. Are the people behind Restaurant Hubert trying to squash the Boyd family cafe?
