ABOUT THE FILM
Garcelle Beauvais reprises her role as Ava, a celebrated chef who appears to have moved on from the heartbreak of encouraging her younger lover, Luke (Vaughn W. Hebron), to leave the country for culinary school. Now headlining a prestigious culinary event in scenic Portugal, where the movie was shot. Ava arrives with her charming new boyfriend Ellis (Boris Kodjoe) — until fate intervenes.

Luke, now an internationally trained culinary standout, unexpectedly appears with a new partner of his own. As unresolved emotions resurface amid kitchens, castles, and career crossroads, Ava and Luke must confront whether love — and timing — deserve a second chance. Lela Rochon returns as Ava’s best friend, Deena.

The film is executive produced by D’Angela Proctor for Undaunted Content in association with Motion Entertainment, a WPP Media Company. Terry McMillan, Garcelle Beauvais, Roger M. Bobb, and Tamara T. Gregory also serve as executive producers, with Chet Fenster executive producing for Motion Entertainment. Boris Kodjoe and Vaughn W. Hebron also produce. Directed by Roger M. Bobb, from a script by Tamara T. Gregory.
