Lily Davis decides to uproot herself and her son Sam from Manhattan to Sakonnet Bay, a small town on the Long Island coast. She becomes a reporter for the paper. Life is idyllic — until Lily discovers she's falling for a married man. And to make matters worse, she thinks she's uncovered a murder. Lily must ultimately decide if people and events are as they seem, or is she just perceiving the small town through her big-city eyes?
