Kate Ryan is sent to New England on a photo assignment. Seems her editor's ex-cousin, the hapless flamboyant Simon Merriweather needs photos of his new Inn for the local travel guide. It was to be a nice quiet week of reflection for Kate. What could go wrong?

Enter Kit Parker, Emily Masterson and Rebecca Townsend. Newport, Rhode Island's old, very old money... The irresistibly delightful elderly friends of Simon arrive for the grand opening. All hell breaks loose one stormy night and what happens?
