A celebrated Manhattan executive chef experiences a bizarre dimensional rupture that strands him in a harsh prehistoric wilderness. Barely surviving harsh elements, he gets captured by an indigenous clan preparing to offer him to their deities, escaping execution only by demonstrating culinary alchemy that turns their bitter rations into an intoxicating banquet.
Using modern fermentation, foraging techniques, and rudimentary metallurgy, he elevates the struggling tribe into a prosperous agrarian settlement. However, his peaceful expansion threatens a neighboring dominion, leading him to discover that his cutthroat culinary rival from Earth arrived years earlier to establish a brutal slave-trading empire.
