A Taiwanese immigrant enlists an African-American soul food chef to help him recreate his mother's Great Banquet, as a wedding gift to his daughter. Though the two share a bond in their passion for food and love of their children, their connection also brings to light resentments from ten years past -- when a child was saved, but a friendship was lost.
