Still feeling the effects of losing their Uncle Dave, a change of scenery and a project to dive into is just what Meg needed. As effusive Meg works alongside the more reserved Joe, the restaurant’s manager, the two find their differences are what make them a great team. Swapping cities with her sister helps Meg figure out her next chapter and also just might bring her an unexpected romance.
