As a designer of upscale restaurants, 30-year-old Bailey Ann Edgeworth can go into an empty space and immediately
see what it would take to transform it into a beautiful and memorable spot. She learns transforming her own life is
another proposition entirely. It can get messy and it doesn’t always go according to a neat blueprint. Bailey’s brother
Henry and his best friend Griffin are stars in the restaurant field. They are known as the “Color Wheel Boys” because
of their renowned Buckhead restaurants Vert, Blanc and Noir. Bailey is determined to chart her own course; to not be
forever known as Hank’s daughter, Henry’s sister, or “whatever” she is to Griffin.
Bailey’s dreams propel her to New York where her vision garners accolades and fame. After a perceived rejection by
Griffin, she rushes into an impetuous marriage with an enigmatic English chef. Their combined charisma and desire
lift them to the top of the culinary world. Just when she seems on the verge of having it all, a shocking betrayal throws
Bailey’s world into chaos. She begins a spectacular downfall complete with secretive drug use, shady associates, and her
career in turmoil. Just what are the secret ingredients to transforming food, a dilapidated building, and one’s own life
into something extraordinary?
Before Anyone Else examines the complicated relationship between love and ambition and explores how our earliest
relationships and experience shape us into who we ultimately become.
