In 1942 New York, as war engulfs Europe, Lily Rose enjoys a seemingly perfect life with her affluent parents and her position as a chef at Valentino's, a prestigious restaurant. However, she feels a magnetic pull towards the vibrant Sicilian community in Greenwich Village, where the allure of fresh produce and the aroma of cannoli beckon her. Central to this attraction is Tom Morelli, a talented chef and the charming grandson of Sicilian immigrants, whose captivating eyes ignite her passion. Amid wartime rationing, Lily and Tom bond over late-night culinary dreams, hoping to uplift New Yorkers during turbulent times. But their world shatters when Tom is drafted to Italy, leaving Lily with only memories of their last kiss. Seeking solace, she turns to her parents, only to face their wrath upon discovering her relationship. They present her with a heartbreaking ultimatum: abandon Tom and her career or lose her family and inheritance. Torn between love and duty, Lily resolves to follow her heart, but when Tom is reported missing in action, her dreams hang in the balance. As she grapples with the consequences of her choices, she must confront the uncertainty of what awaits her after the war.
