After hitting rock bottom, he goes to New Orleans to get clean and shuck one million oysters as a form of penance. Now sober and determined to redeem himself, Adam moves to London to try and earn a third Michelin star, which is the highest accolade in the culinary world.
In London, Adam reconnects with old colleagues and recruits new ones, including Helene (Sienna Miller), a talented but skeptical sous-chef.
