Nothing ever happens in Bushdell, a modern suburbia. That is, until a black, one-eyed pastry chef from France, suffering from memory loss, sets up a bakery in town overnight. If it sounds far-fetched, that's because it is. The townspeople love to gossip. Is this mysterious baker hiding something terrible? Some think he's crazy, others think he's a murderer. One college student sets out to uncover the truth behind the baker's sudden appearance with a little help from an eight year-old boy, an internet-savvy bimbo, a good-hearted troublemaker, and a viral video. But what they discover will change their understanding of themselves, their hometown, and life itself.
