Synopsis: Former socialite Tracy Deloche has nothing to her name but five ramshackle beach cottages and the unlikely friendships she's formed with her tenants.

And Maggie, Wanda's daughter, a former Miami cop with a love life as complicated as Tracy's own.
The new man in Tracy's life hasn't mentioned love or commitmentand Tracy has just discovered she's pregnant. Janya longs to be a motherand suddenly has two young siblings in her care. Maggie helps out at Wanda's Wonderful Pies
but is the kitchen big enough for both Gray women? And Alice may lose her beloved granddaughter to someone no one expected
.
As a tropical storm brews, the wind carries surprises and secrets over the bridge to Happiness Key. Now, more than ever, five friends will discover just how much they need one another.
