Charlotte Sitterly watches FBI agents lock her out of her own house after arresting her husband for white-collar crime. Cut off from bank accounts and thrust into unwanted fame by a gossipy Instagram account called @JuniperShoresSocialite, Charlotte faces financial ruin alongside her daughter Iris. They move into a rundown beachfront bed-and-breakfast in coastal North Carolina that houses other single mothers. The unconventional living situation draws whispers throughout Juniper Shores, but Charlotte and Iris discover unexpected joy among their new housemates. The women form bonds that feel more like family than circumstance. Then they uncover a hidden connection linking them all together. This revelation forces them to question whether their meeting was random chance or something deeper. The discovery threatens to either restore Charlotte's standing in the community or destroy the sisterhood they've built.
