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.
