After being cleared of his wifeâs murder, Todd Norman returns to her small Connecticut hometown in order to finish building their dream house by the lake. He is eager to restart his life and cast aside any remaining suspicions, but all of that is dashed when a young womanâs body washes up on the beach next door. When Tracy Somerset, a divorced mother from the small town of Covenant, meets a handsome stranger in a midnight Wal-Mart, she has no idea she is speaking with Todd Norman, the former Wall Street financier dubbed âThe Banker Butcherâ by the New York tabloids. The following morning, on the beach by Normanâs back-under-construction lakehouse, a young womanâs body is discovered. Sheriff Duane Sobczakâs investigation leads him to town psychiatrist Dr. Meshulum Bakshir, whose position at a troubled girlsâ group home a decade ago yields disturbing ties to several local prominent players, including a radical preacher, a disgraced politician, a down-and-out PI, and Sobczakâs own daughter. Unfolding over the course of New Englandâs distinct four seasons, The Lakehouse is a domestic psychological thriller about the wayward and marginalized, the lies we tell those closest to us, and the price of forbidden love in an insular community, where it seems everyone has a story to tell...and a past they prefer stay buried.
