Synopsis
"He’s given his father such relentless cause to turn in his grave they might well have buried him in a rotisserie grill."
When misanthropic London food critic Marcus Tuckwell swears to write the foulest review of all time in an attempt to resurrect his flatlining career, the last thing he expects is to be met with life-affirming kindness and humanity by its intended target.
