In New York’s high-end restaurant scene one chef will do anything, and cook anything, to come out on top.
Kash owes a lot of money.
His restaurant, specialising in exotic meats and catering to New York’s elite, was doing well. Then business dried up, and now Boris the loan shark wants his investment back.
But Kash has a plan. There’s a rumour of a dinner club, hosted in turns by billionaires. Lots of ego, and lots of money. If Kash can get the gig, it would pay off Boris and then some.
He will need to offer something new, something that five of the richest men on the planet will have never tasted before. Something entirely unprecedented …
But Boris is done waiting. He kidnaps Kash, takes him to a warehouse and cuts off his finger.
And this gives Kash an idea.
