Young war veterans, Deutch and Swift, travel to the hometown of their fallen comrade Corporal Leonore Mazenet (Maz), to attend a memorial in her honour.

Laura (Tori Anderson) is a Chicago marketing executive sent to oversee a small mid-west town cook-off and entice Jim (Corey Sevier), the local barbecue joint owner, to let her license his family's secret BBQ sauce. As two very different worlds collide, with a dash of trust and splash of mutual admiration, a new-found friendship slowly marinades into something much bolder and sweet.
