It's been five years since Sylvia Kramer abandoned the turmoil of her former life in Toronto and found refuge in Newfoundland. During her attempt to make a fresh start, Sylvia experienced a brutal home assault, suffered the loss of her newfound soul mate, and developed a disquieting suspicion about a friend's newborn baby. Now, having finally settled into a peaceful and accepting existence on Old Broad Road, her calm is shattered when she's informed of an ominous scheme instigated by her desperate ex—husband. Sylvia's life is further disrupted when her neighbour Jamie invites a disgraced lawyer from Boston to stay with him On The Rock.
