Emerson Murphy should be glowing as she plans her wedding to Kyle in the charming coastal town of Peachtree Bluff. Instead, her struggles to start a family cast a shadow over what should be pure happiness. Her pregnant sister Sloane watches her dream home construction spiral into a budget-busting disaster while middle sister Caroline swoops in to fix everyone's problems. But Caroline finds herself torn between her charismatic costar and her almost-ex-husband, who suddenly wants her back. Meanwhile, their mother Ansley thought she'd found stability with new husband Jack until a brewing scandal threatens to destroy not just their marriage but the entire town. As autumn settles over Peachtree Bluff, the Murphy women discover that even the strongest family ties face their greatest test when secrets surface and loyalties divide.
