The bucolic town of Lake Success is far from the ideal hideaway; underneath its picturesque surface lurks an undertow of lies and deceit. When the patriarch (Brian Keith) of the area's most influential clan dies, leaving control of his business to his estranged daughter, Suzy (Liz Vassey), the secrets come rising to the top. His other children won't give up without a fight, however, as everyone clings to what little power they have.
