The catering queen

Welcome to Henderson Tessier McGuire & Smythe's annual Christmas cocktail party, held at the gracious home of managing partner George Smythe and his lovely wife Buffy. It's The Catering Gig From Hell. Behind the scenes is Melanie, McKinley Catering's supervisor, plating up hors d'oeuvres and juggling her career as a writer, her ex-boyfriend's appearance on the arm of a gorgeous young lawyer, and her friends' expectations. There's Christmas cheer, sex, romance, death, laughter, a vast array of appetizers, and a whole lot of vodka and wine. But not for nothing is Mel known as The Catering Queen.
