Synopsis

Lynn Markham moves into her late husband's beach house the morning after former tenant Eloise Crandall fell from the cliff. To her annoyance, Lynn finds both her real estate agent and Drummond Hall, her beachcomber neighbor, making themselves quite at home. Lynn soon has no doubts of what her scheming neighbors are up to, but she finds Drummond's physical charms hard to resist. And she still doesn't know what really happened to Eloise.

She just is a woman, all the way through! Man can she be strong, and, vulnerable... Gripping! Funny how people think her real life was such a contrast, well, not contrast really, but point out her failed marriages, her short leash on her children, her obsession to be #1... it takes all that to be the lady she was! I'd have loved her with every slap in the face she gave, every stubborn drive and insult that led her crazed and back into my arms... Even if the film is a 3 it gets a 5 for her greatness! ❤️
