But despite the fantastic geography and easy access to local ingredients, it soon becomes clear that managing your own restaurant is hard work. Not least when secrets that threaten to destroy everything are uncovered.
Alex is also unable to let go of his fear that Alice will come out of the woodwork to exact her revenge. Is it just paranoia, or is there truly reason to worry?
