Hugo is chopping vegetables, preparing for the dinner shift at one of Manhattan's top restaurants. He's chasing his dream of becoming one of the world's great chefs, a dream he shared with his father -- who also worked at one of Manhattan's top restaurants, one high atop the World Trade Center. It hasn't been easy for Hugo. He came to New York from Ecuador four years ago to carve out a better life -- just like Dad did ten years before. Now Hugo is the head of the family. Kai, Hugo's mentor, used his connections to arrange the restaurant internship which quickly turned into a part time job. Hugo's full time job is high school -- he just passed his regents exam with the help of a tutor from Tuesday's Children. Hugo's part time job is full time after he graduates, but there's a catch. Hugo is not a naturalized citizen. So while Hugo helps his mother make ends meet, Kai has an attorney resolving Hugo's residency status. So Hugo chops vegetables. But he's doing much more than that -- he's running with the chance he's been given.
