The job sounds easy enough but there is a catch: it is illegal.Blinded by greed, Blake conceals his sins from his wife, Angelica, and enters Nick's gilded world. But when the foodies take their first bites of the illicit delicacy an ancient disease resurfaces, unleashing a trail of black death that points back to Blake.
