Within weeks, they're locked in a war of price tags and products- Ambrose's expertise against Eli's effortless charm. Toil leads to trouble, the safety gloves come off, and right as their rivalry reaches a boiling point... The mayor commissions them to brew a potion together.The task is as complex as it is lucrative, pushing both men to the limits of their abilities and patience. Yet as the fires burn and cauldrons bubble...they find a different sort of chemistry brewing.
