In the high-stakes, cutthroat world of gourmet cuisine, a deliciously sinister mystery is simmering. When the world's greatest chefs begin meeting their ends in methods bizarrely linked to their signature dishes, panic erupts among the culinary elite. The investigation pulls in a brilliant but perpetually harried food critic, played with comedic exasperation by Oliver Platt, who finds himself in a race against time. His ex-wife, a rising pastry chef with a talent for creating exquisite desserts, may be next on the killer's menu, forcing an unlikely and frantic reunion. Directed by Ted Kotcheff, this witty blend of mystery and comedy whisks viewers through a glamorous international landscape of five-star kitchens and decadent meals, where every succulent course could be a chef's last. As the body count rises alongside the tension, the question isn't just about who has the appetite for murder, but who will be the next course served in this deadly gastronomic game.
