После смерти своего мужа, Беатрис Паллман пытается продолжить его бизнес, продавая кленовый сироп. Для облегчения работы по дому и воспитанию дочери она нанимает на работу чернокожую служанку Делилу, которая готова за крышу над головой, предоставленную ей и ее белокожей дочери Пеоле, помогать по хозяйству, поскольку у Беатрис совсем не было денег. Делила оказывается превосходной поварихой, ее рецепт блинов с кленовым сиропом, побуждает Беатрис создать собственною «Блинную». Проходят годы, дела идут на лад, кафе превращается в сеть популярных закусочных, двадцать процентов в доле бизнеса принадлежит Делиле, но все это не радует Пеолу, она стесняется черного цвета кожи своей матери и старается избегать общения…
