<p>One new owner. One hot barista. And one seriously weird coffee shop…</p><p>Adele is down on her luck. She’s just failed her last musical theatre, and it now looks like the bright</p><p>lights of Broadway are behind her for good. So, when the opportunity comes up to take over a</p><p>Brooklyn coffee shop, finally it feels like at last things are going her way.</p><p>The only issue is the coffee shop comes with strings attached in the form of one very grumpy (but</p><p>roasting hot) barista, Ben. He’s worked there for years and he’s not about to move on just because</p><p>there’s a new owner in town.</p><p>But soon it’s not only Ben who’s smouldering, because strange things are happening with the old</p><p>coffee roasting machine in the basement, with roaring flames and weird noises that seem to come</p><p>from nowhere. She’d ask Ben for help, but he never seems to be around when there’s a problem to</p><p>fix. And to add to it all, now some of the regular customers are nowhere to be seen…</p><p>Trouble is brewing for Adele and, before she knows it, she’s in a whole latte trouble.</p>
