With a promise that they will not get into any trouble,
Marion, Rollins, Octavia Hennessy, and Martha Halston, all older residents
of Branfield, NH, convince their husbands that they need a 'girl's getaway'.
They choose Compton, FL as their destination. At the same time two
men, Paul Miller, a young golfer who is the USA AMATUER winner.
and Sean McPherson a retired educator who has just been hired
to be Compton's new CITY MANAGER, arrive in the city to begin new lives.
Quite by accident, all of these people meet and become friends. The
arrival of a dangerous hurricane finds them sheltering together and
becomes the catalyst for involving them in a shocking crime and a real
test for the links they have formed.
