Go to the full screening

A voiceless tycoon and a mute cook heal each other while his ex-fiancée forges a marriage to steal his fortune.

Ryan Chase survives poisoning and a shove overboard only to wash ashore stripped of voice and memory. Sophia, a mute cook, pulls him into her family restaurant where her stepmother Diane makes every day a gauntlet. Their shared silence becomes a language of trust as they fall close, but the stakes sharpen when Sophia's father James collapses. Across the city, Mia forges a marriage license to seize Ryan's conglomerate while his assistant Thomas fights a rearguard action. When Diane learns who Ryan truly is yet still refuses to help James, the man she sheltered decides the hiding is over and reaches for the power he lost.
