About Hungry, the Stars and Everything
Food critic Helen Burns begins a tasting menu at a mysterious restaurant, but each course pulls her deeper into memories she has tried to avoid. Over the meal, appetite and recollection force her to confront the dark absence at the centre of her past—and decide what she can live with when the final plate is cleared.
