Tori Moore, popular high school chemistry teacher, avid home baker, and soon-to-be empty nester, auditions for the American Bake-o-Rama TV competition at the urging of her twin teenagers. The prize money could allow her to finally open her own bakery. But still reeling from her divorce, it's not just money that's standing between Tori and her dreams. On set, Tori catches the eye of Kendra Campbell, the notoriously ruthless celebrity chef and Bake-o-Rama judge. Kendra's been told to soften her approach in order to appease viewers seeking feel-good entertainment. Tori, drawn to the uncompromising way Kendra moves through the world, senses a tenderness beneath her tough exterior. She and Kendra find it increasingly hard to keep their distance amid 6 slow-burn weeks of cooking challenges and kitchen disasters. For both of them, the best prize of all might just be love.
