      Daphne always loved the way her fiance Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it... right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children's librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.Scruffy and chaotic - with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads - Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she's either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?But it's all just for show, of course, because there's no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiance's new fiancee's ex... right?

      Bienvenido al Heartbreak Cafe. Ven por la comida. Quédate por amor. La madre de Dell Haley siempre decía que había dos cosas de las que un hombre nunca se hartaba: un buen plato y un buen abrazo. Dell es una artista en la cocina, por lo que lo primero está asegurado. En cuanto a los abrazos, su olfato le dice que está recibiendo una buena ración de ellos fuera de casa. Y entonces él aparece muerto. Sin dinero ni estudios, Dell se aferra a lo único que nunca le ha fallado: su habilidad culinaria. Lo arriesga todo para abrir una cafetería en un restaurante abandonado, a la que bautiza "Heartbreak Café" en honor al clásico de Elvis que le cantaba a los corazones rotos. Para su sorpresa, la cafetería se convierte en un centro neurálgico del pueblo, y le depara algunos amigos muy peculiares. Dell se pregunta en cuál de ellos puede confiar para que la ayude a encontrar la verdad que se esconde detrás de su corazón roto...
