 ;follows&nbsp\;high-powered business woman Lana Rubicon who finds herself 
 trapped 300 miles north of L.A.\, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town wi

 omes a suspect in the homicide.</p>\n<p>With Jack and Beth&rsquo\;s help\,
  Lana uncovers a web of lies\, family vendettas\, and land disputes lurkin
 g beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists 
 and wealthy ranchers. But as their amateur snooping advances into ever-mor

 one thing they&rsquo\;ve always resisted: depend on each other.</p>\n<h5>A
