After suffering a personal tragedy Abby Sullivan buys a huge old seaside mansion she has never even seen, packs up her life in San Francisco, and moves to Holiday Bay Maine, where she is adopted, quite against her will, by a huge Maine Coon Cat named Rufus, a drifter with her own tragic past named Georgia, and a giant dog with an inferiority complex named Ramos. What Abby thought she needed was alone time to heal. What she ended up with was, an inn she never knew she wanted, a cat she couldn't seem to convince to leave, and a new family she'd never be able to live without.

Georgia, Amy, and chefs from three other local restaurants are asked to be judges, which turns out to be a lot more of a commitment than any of them planned for. When one of the cameramen assigned to the weeklong event goes missing, his fiancé shows up to track him down.
