Who knew fixing your karma could be so dangerous?

Bella Bloom is a Brooklyn housewife who wants to succeed in the kitchen but keeps botching one meal after another. When she discovers her husband has been cheating on her with an eye-catching Italian chef, she goes to see an Indian guru, Maharishi Krishna Ram, who tells her the cure for her problems is garam masala, an exotic Indian spice.

She buys an Indian cookbook and starts experimenting with different recipes until she becomes a top-notch Indian chef, even coming out with her own line of spices under the brand name, “Brooklyn Masala.” The Guru instructs her to distribute her spices through a network of shady Indian groceries and the “payment” is suspicious-looking chocolate bars. But when her spices are linked to an international gang of diamond smugglers and one of them ends up dead in the East River, Bella is in a race to save her name, her reputation, and her life.
