A substitute teacher by trade but not by passion, she has the city inspectors breathing down her neck and the bank threatening foreclosure unless she can muster up $4,000 in a mere ten days. In a heroic display of resilience, Angela decides to leverage her secret weapon—her grandmother's famed apple cakes, a delight known and loved by her social circle.
