Synopsis

Wade and Celia run Alder Corner, a neighborhood‑loved bakery. Their landlord Vernon sharply raises the monthly rent to 7,500 dollars, far above local market rates. Refusing the unaffordable new term, the couple choose to move rather than accept terms that would risk their livelihood. They hunt for usable commercial space and finally rent a less‑visible spot inside Switchyard Market. Meanwhile, Vernon’s son Bryce takes over the original store using cheap frozen pre‑made dough. Though the prime location draws initial crowds, poor product quality, scheduling troubles and mismanaged prepaid gift cards drag the new business down. Wade and Celia rebuild their operation, catering to early‑shift market workers. They gradually win steady clientele, add a back‑of‑house prep area, learn staff delegation, and turn down Vernon’s later offer to move back to the old store.
