Sometimes bitter rivalries can brew something sweet. Theo Mori wants to escape. Leaving Vermont for college means getting away from working at his parents' Asian American café and dealing with their archrivals' hopeless son Gabi who's lost the soccer team more games than Theo can count. Gabi Moreno is miserably stuck in the closet. Forced to play soccer to hide his love for dance and iced out by Theo, the only openly gay guy at school, Gabi's only reprieve is his parents' Puerto Rican bakery and his plans to take over after graduation. But the town's new fusion café changes everything. Between the Mori's struggling shop and the Moreno's plan to sell their bakery in the face of the competition, both boys find their dreams in jeopardy. Then Theo has an idea-sell photo-worthy food covertly at school to offset their losses. When he sprains his wrist and Gabi gets roped in to help, they realize they need to work together to save their parents' shops but will the new feelings rising between them be enough to send their future plans up in smoke?
