Amanda returns home to Edgartown following the news that her parents have died in a car accident. Closing her successful law practice in Chicago, she returns to her childhood home. She has been on edge since one of her neighbor’s homes was broken into the week before and feels a responsibility to watch out for her community, filled with people she has known her whole life. One night, Amanda notices a light on at Mrs. Brice’s home even though she knows her neighbor is out of town. Without a second thought, she heads across the street to find out if Mrs. Brice has returned home early only to have an intruder race out the back door. As she strives to build her law practice, Amanda finds herself in the middle of unraveling years of home invasions, murder, and grand theft, ending with a hostage situation and shoot out. Along the way she meets the man of her dreams, and they set out on a journey to build the family Amanda has always wanted.
