Robin "Rob" Feld is a former Portland-based chef turned reclusive and asocial truffle forager. Living in a cabin deep in the Oregon forests, he hunts for truffles with the help of his prized foraging pig. He sells the truffles to Amir, a young and inexperienced supplier of luxury ingredients to high-end restaurants. One night, Rob is assaulted by unidentified assailants who also steal his pig. He reaches out to Amir, who helps him locate a group of impoverished drug addicts suspected by another local truffle-hunter of being the culprits. They claim to have given the pig to someone from downtown Portland. Rob and Amir infiltrate an underground fighting ring run by Edgar, an old acquaintance of Rob s who provides another clue on the whereabouts of Rob s pig.
The following morning, Amir makes himself and Rob breakfast and voices his admiration for Rob as a chef; Amir s parents marriage was an unhappy one, but Amir recalls his parents being at their happiest following a dinner at Rob s restaurant many years ago, before his mother eventually committed suicide. Following Edgar s lead, Rob asks Amir to secure reservations for themselves at Eurydice, a trendy contemporary restaurant. In the meantime, Rob visits the house where he used to live with his wife Lori, whose death compelled Rob to withdraw from society.
At Eurydice, Rob asks to meet with its head chef, Derrick, a former pasta chef at Rob s restaurant. Rob pointedly yet empathetically criticizes Derrick for opening a contemporary restaurant rather than the pub he always wanted to run. An emasculated Derrick confesses that Amir s wealthy father, Darius, was behind the theft of his pig, which he knew about after Amir informed him about its existence.
Rob angrily ends his partnership with Amir before going to confront Darius at his home. Darius promises him $25,000 in exchange for the pig and threatens Rob with the pig s death should he continue his pursuit. After Amir visits his mother (who is alive but in a coma, implying her suicide attempt failed) he goes to pick up Rob from Darius s house. Rob admits to Amir that he does not actually need his pig to hunt truffles, but he simply appreciates her companionship and loves her. He then asks Amir to help him get his pig back in another way.
Rob retrieves a loaf of bread from his former baker, while Amir sources special ingredients, including a bottle of wine from Rob and Lori s personal collection, held at the mausoleum containing Lori s body. After sneaking back into Darius s house, Rob and Amir cook and serve the same dinner that Darius and his wife were cooked years earlier by Rob, for the three of them in the kitchen. Darius is brought to tears over the meal and retreats to his office. When Rob again asks where his pig is, Darius confesses that the junkies he hired to take it had mishandled it, resulting in its death; Rob is devastated. A remorseful Amir drives Rob back to the Skyline tavern where he had first picked him up. Despite Amir s carelessness, Rob decides to resume his partnership with him. Returning to his cabin, Rob plays a tape that Lori recorded of herself singing "I m on Fire" to him for his birthday.
