Newly widowed Elizabeth struggles to figure out who she is after more than thirty years of wedded bliss. Seeking tranquility and renewal, she leaves Cambridge, Massachusetts, and rents a cottage at the beach on Cape Cod, where she meets Carla, a Cape native with her own connection to the cottage, although it’s one she’s not eager to share.

​

When Elizabeth and Carla meet Tricia, a powerful, wealthy philanthropist, the three women form a bond that arises from the discovery of their common misery: a man whose very existence threatens to destroy all of them.

​

Elizabeth has no idea that buried deep beneath the tranquility of her little cottage lie the seeds of deception, heartbreak, and murder. Sorting through a web of lies, both new and old, the three women must use everything within their power to try to save not only themselves, but each other.
