"Lucy Hendricks hasn't had an easy time of it since her husband Jack, devoted and upstanding Bayonne, New Jersey cop, was murdered while on an investigation five years prior. There were suspicions that he had been involved with the local mafia, and the media won't let it go, making life unbearable, so Lucy moved to Florida to raise her son, Kevin, who was born without ever knowing his father. Now, Lucy returns to pick up the pieces, moving back into the house she and Jack shared, trying to move on. But the past won't loosen its grip on the young widow, and, as Kevin begins to act increasing erratically, making statements wise beyond his years and offering specific details about Jack's murder he couldn't possibly know, Lucy must figure out the mystery surrounding her husband's death. She can't trust the cops, it seems, and now the local Don has reached out to her, offering help in clearing Jack's name. As Hurricane Sandy is bearing down on Bayonne, Lucy must trust her instincts to save herself and her sonfrom much more than a deadly storm"-- - Baker & Taylor
