Montreal, 1950s. Kitty's life is perfect. She married her childhood sweetheart and her detective novels, written under a plausibly male nom de plume, are bestsellers. But Kitty is suffocating under the truth of her life. Her publishers convince her to go on a writing retreat to a beautiful remote island, Cape Breton. Kitty arrives in Cape Breton to a leaky, drafty shack and a cast of characters unlike anyone she's ever met. Soon Kitty's writing retreat turns her life upside down, and she has to face which parts of her life are non-negotiable and which she must cut loose.
