Growing up in the Bronx as a boy, Kwame Onwuachi is sent to rural Nigeria by his mother to "learn respect." However, the hard-won knowledge gained in Africa is not enough to keep him from the temptation and easy money of the streets when he returns home. But through food, he breaks out of a dangerous downward spiral, embarks on a new beginning at the bottom of the culinary food chain as a chef on board a cleanup ship, before going on to train in the kitchens of some of the most acclaimed restaurants in the country and appear as a contestant on "Top Chef."
