Two friends open up a restaurant together.

AMC tackles the travails of the restaurant industry with Jim Sturgess and David Schwimmer as the lead cast members. Schwimmer plays Tommy Moran, a single father of a silent son and a wine salesman. Sturgess plays his best friend Dion Patras, a coke addict cook who is fresh out of prison and on the run from the mob. The young Elijah Jacob gets a chance to shine as the mute son of Schwimmer's Tommy.
