Stevie, a recovering alcoholic and kitchen manager of Chappyâs, a small-chain restaurant, is frantically trying to prevent the people around her from going supernova: her PTSD-suffering veteran son, her uproariously demented parents, the polyglot eccentrics who work in her kitchen, the blind geriatric dog she inherits, and a damaged five-year-old who landed on her doorstep and might just be her granddaughter.
In the tight grip of new corporate owners, Stevie battles corporateâs ârestructuringâ to save her kitchen, while trying to learn to forgive herself and maybe allow some love back into her life. Stevieâs biting, hilarious take on her own and othersâ foibles will make you cheer and will have you loving Misconduct of the Heart (in the immortal words of Stevieâs best line cook) âlike never tomorrow.â
