      River ve Vermontu je jedním z řady zapadlých městeček, ve kterých se zdánlivě nic neděje. Místní lidé žijí poklidným životem. Mezi nimi i vdova Mary McAllisterová, kterou však skoro nikdo nikdy neviděl. Zná ji snad jen místní blázen a zdravotní sestra… Její krásná vila, tyčící se na vršku nad městem, je polozapomenutým místem – o její obyvatelce místní mnoho neví a už po ní po těch dlouhých letech ani nepátrají. Teprve když se do města přistěhuje policista Kyle Hansen s dcerou Rowen, odhaluje se příběh tajemné ženy, pro niž se stali na celá desetiletí jediným spojením se světem pošta, postarší kněz se zvláštním zvykem krást lžičky a také okno v ložnici, které střeží život poklidného Mill River.

    • Having unexpectedly lost her husband and lacking the means to support herself, Josie DiSanti and her two daughters take refuge in the small town of Mill River, to live with Josie's aunt, Ivy. The sisters, Rose and Emily, are inseparable growing up - until a shocking tragedy tears them apart. Years later, Rose and Emily return to Mill River for the reading of their mother's will, where they learn that Josie would do anything to force their reconciliation: the sisters must move into neighbouring houses for the summer and work together to locate the key to Josie's safe deposit box, which contains their inheritance. And so, left with no choice, Rose and Emily reluctantly begin their search. But in a place known for its magic and miracles, little do they know that an even greater treasure awaits them . . .
