A coffee vendor faces ruin when a rival's toxic shortcut sickens a crowd and the park demands his return.
Aaron runs a modest coffee stand built on honest beans and fair prices. When supply costs surge, he holds his latte at six dollars rather than cut corners. Chad, a rival vendor, undercuts him with a three-dollar drink brewed from spoiled stock, luring away Aaron's crew and pushing him out of the park into a flea market. Chad's gamble collapses when dozens fall violently ill from the tainted brew. With the venue in crisis, organizers beg Aaron to step back in, yet reclaiming his spot means confronting the fallout of a sabotage that could mark him for retaliation.
