Penelope and Lucy are best friends from college. Lucy is a struggling artist and Penelope happens to be filthy rich. Regardless of social status and the fact that Penelope supports Lucy while she works to make a name for herself, there is a true and deep love there.
Penelope creates a pact with her four closest friends, including Lucy, that if she dies, her husband cannot remarry without their permission until her children are adults. Everyone signs and thinks nothing of it again... until Penelope is murdered.
Her husband and girls move into the bed and breakfast that Lucy was given by Penelope. This seems a sensible way to help support each other in their distress. Lucy loves the girls like her own but also has a hidden and repressed love for Joey, Penelope's husband.
It goes as smoothly as it can go, for a while, until long hidden secrets, newly hatched plots, hidden desires and the girls issues with their overall well-being start to come to the surface and threaten to tear apart long standing friendships and love.
This is a story of working through terrible sorrow and secrets that come back to haunt you, while remembering who loves you - regardless.
