Thirty-five years ago, life was perfect for Jane Rhys - well almost. A group of six friends, who worked side-by-side in the kitchen of the Ritz Hotel in eighties' London, now seem only to reconnect at funerals. Jane, one of the six, has been diagnosed with an incurable strain of cancer and been given less than a year to live. Hers might be the next funeral. All she wants to do now is go back, relive, and perhaps correct one imperfection.
But be careful what you wish for. At the funeral of her one-time boss and executive chef, Kelvin Peverrel, her life takes an unexpected turn.
Jane now must struggle with life, love, survival, death and a new reality, today, in her past, and at a time before she was born, with her friends from the kitchen.
