Amidst the lunch rush of a frantic Manhattan restaurant, a series of events threaten to bring the kitchen to a crashing halt.

While food orders flood in and pressure mounts to boiling point, the passionate relationship between chef Pedro and waitress Julia is starting to fray. When missing money and shocking revelations cause things to spiral out of control, it's not long before one of New York's busiest kitchens is on the verge of imploding.

La Cocina takes on the cauldron of feeling and fury that is the modern professional kitchen, but shifts the camera away from high-end cooking towards the tough lives of the immigrant workers who make so many restaurants viable.
