Eleven separate vignettes are presented. In each, celebrities, playing semi-fictionalized versions of themselves (with the exception of the characters of various wait staff, and one actor playing a lookalike cousin of herself), meet in a food service establishment with coffee/tea and cigarettes involved. Beyond the topic of discussion that brought them together, they often talk directly about coffee and cigarettes, more often that coffee and cigarettes, and by association caffeine and nicotine, are not healthy, especially if they are the only things constituting lunch. Other recurring themes include the Lee family, cousinhood, celebrity worship, the connection between the medical and musical careers, and Nikola Tesla's belief that the Earth is a conductor of acoustic resonance. In all cases, the coming together for coffee/tea and smokes acts as a bridge to overcome disagreements, and/or makes uncomfortable situations less uncomfortable.

William Holt is the heir-apparent to the top job at Chicago-based Holt Enterprises upon his father Jim Holt's imminent retirement. Will has coasted through life on his charm leaving others--such as his unofficial assistant Lyle--to clean up his messes. Reluctant to leave the company in Will's hands, Jim posts a position for a lawyer to shadow him and handle any messes of a legal nature. This is how Will meets lawyer Annie Park, who specializes in family law. While Will believes she came to the Holt building for the job, she actually came to confront him about Holt Enterprises tearing down the building where her adoptive parents, Gene and Pat Park, have long had their diner, the Starlight; they need to be out by the New Year, a few weeks away. Will strikes a deal with Annie: if she'll pretend to be his lawyer for a week, just as a body to show Jim, Will will stop the building demolition and associated evictions. In this lawyer role, Annie unexpectedly gets roped into organizing a high-end sit-down dinner Christmas fundraiser to get Will out of one of those legal messes, something at which she has no experience. Will is roped into helping her, and as they spend time together they start to fall for each other. What if Will is unable to fulfill his end of their original agreement?

The town of Windward, located on an island in Puget Sound, is facing economic hardship with few tourists coming to the island. Among the family businesses hit hard are McBride's Diner and Duval Boulangerie, now operated by second generation Annie McBride and Matt Duval respectively, they who have been best friends since they were children. Annie, who aspired to be a painter when she lived and studied in Paris, only came back to Windward when her father fell ill, she taking over the diner upon his passing, it not being her original plan. Walter Rasmussen, the town's mayor and chief business booster, including of his own businesses, tries to capitalize on the fact that wealthy benefactress Kathryn Dean, who owns property on the island, has brought the Philip Chandler ballet company from Seattle to rehearse on the island. While Philip ends up having his eye on Annie, Matt, who has never had a serious girlfriend in Annie believing he seeking the myth of perfection, is immediately attracted to Nicole, the company's lead dancer. While Matt had admittedly only been an adequate bread maker, he all of a sudden becomes an expert bread maker, his very French father Jean Pierre Duval who believes it's because he's in love, that passion which is translating into his bread making. His unforgettable breads become the basis for the tourist boom back to the island and the island's upward economic fortunes. But with whatever is happening between Matt and Nicole being fleeting at best in they living in two totally different worlds in more ways than one, the townsfolk believe they have to keep the love within Matt alive for their own economic benefit, those closest to them who have long been able to see that Matt and Annie are truly in love with each other if they both will only open their eyes to it.

A morality tale for the 21st century, Official Secrets tells the true story of British Intelligence whistle-blower Katharine Gun who, during the immediate run-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion, leaked a top secret NSA memo exposing a joint US-UK illegal spying operation against members of the UN Security Council. The memo proposed blackmailing smaller, undecided member states into voting for war. At great personal and professional risk, journalist Martin Bright published the leaked document in The Observer newspaper in London, and the story made headlines around the world. Members of the Security Council were outraged and any chance of a UN resolution in favour of war collapsed. But within days, Bush declared he no longer needed UN backing and invaded anyway. As Iraq descended into chaos, Katharine was arrested and charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act. Martin faced potential charges too. Their legal battles exposed the highest levels of government in both London and Washington with having manipulated intelligence in order to sell an illegal war.
