Recentemente chegado à América, Michael Dobrescu está longe de ser previsível, e sua chegada a Colden é qualquer coisa menos silenciosa. A afirmação chocante de Michael de ser o proprietário legítimo da casa do pai de Libby, imediatamente o aliena dos consternados cidadãos de Colden.
Apesar de sua própria indignação, Libby é involuntariamente fascinada por esse homem enigmático que parece igualmente intrigado por ela. À medida que a decisão do tribunal sobre a casa se aproxima e as camadas de mistério em torno do passado de Michael são reveladas, a lealdade de Libby é testada de maneira que ela nunca imaginou.
