Todd Norman, cleared of his wife's murder, returns to her small Connecticut hometown to build their dream house by the lake. Eager for a fresh start, Todd finds hopes dashed when a young woman's body washes up on the neighboring beach.
When Tracy Somerset, a divorced mother from Covenant, CT, encounters a handsome stranger late one night inside Wal-Mart, she's unaware she's talking to Todd Norman, dubbed "The Banker Butcher" by the New York tabloids. The next morning, another body surfaces near Todd's under-construction lakehouse.
As Sheriff Duane Sobczak's investigates, troubling ties emerge between a local psychiatrist, a radical preacher, and a now-closed girls' home. Set over New England's four seasons, The Lakehouse delves into forbidden love and buried secrets within an insular community where everyone has a story to tell and a past they prefer stay buried.
