Sophie is spending a summer waitressing and trying to forget that her dad is in prison. When five hot Italian brothers move into an abandoned mansion in town, it's a welcome distraction. What Sophie doesn't know is that their family and hers are intertwined in a dark secret. The development of Sophie and Nic's relationship is muddled, but the tension-filled exposition of the families' conflict compensates.
