Alice is restless. She's bored with her life in small town, bored with her boyfriend David. But the arrival of 'the summer people' - the tourists who descend on Nelson Springs each summer - promises a bit of excitement. This year the Lake House, where Alice works as a cleaner each summer, has been rented by an exotic trio - a glamorous ex-rock star, her French boyfriend, and her very unconventional son, Taz.
