Secrets and lies.

at Nantuckets most exclusive and glamorous, family-owned hotel.

The Whitley is Nantuckets most exclusive waterfront hotel - a sprawling collection of pristine white cottages and an elegant main building on a long stretch of private white sandy beach.

Its a family owned business - brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, all work there in various capacities.

Paula is happy in her back-office accounting position.

But changes are in store when her grandfather promotes her and fires her cousin - who then blames Paula.

Meanwhile, a blond romantic-comedy superstar is hiding out at the hotel for a few months.

She meets Paulas brother, a chef - who has no idea who she is - and she likes it that way.

Paulas grandfather also hires a consultant to help her settle into her new role.

But she isnt sure what to think of David, who grew up on Nantucket but now lives in Manhattan.

Hes a brilliant consultant and will be assessing Paulas suitability for the role.

Hes also home for another reason, a difficult family issue that makes Manhattan seem very far away.
