| Ten years after the death of the magnetic Donald "Sully" Sullivan, the town of North Bath is going through a major transition as it is annexed by its much wealthier neighbor, Schuyler Springs. Peter, Sully's son, is still grappling with his father's tremendous legacy as well as his relationship to hiw own son Thomas, wondering if he has been all that different a father than Sully was to him. Across town, Ruth, Sully's married paramour, and her daughter, Janey, struggle to understand Janey's daughter, Tina, and her growing obsession with Peter's other son, Will. Meanwhile, the towns' newly consolidated police department falls into the hands of Charice Bond following the resignation of Doug Raymer, the former North Bath police chief and Charice's ex-lover. When a decomposing body turns up in the abandoned hotel situated between the two towns, Charice and Raymer are drawn together and forced to address their complicated attraction to each other. Amid the turmoil, the town's residents speculate on the identity of the unidentified body and wonder who among their number could have disappeared unnoticed.-- Provided by publisher. |
