One man running from his past, two women he's attracted to, and a peculiar town that won't let him go.
Matthew Sadler rides his '77 Harley into Happenstance, intent on passing through, but people and events conspire to prevent his leaving.
The elderly Barlow sisters consider Matt their knight on a motorcycle. Matt is entranced by Roni, the other lodger at the Happenstance Hotel, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his beloved, deceased wife. The young doctor in town, Paula Percy, adores Matt's motorcycle. However, she is suspicious of Roni, and the feeling is mutual.
As the days pass, the quaint little town, with its unique residents, begins to show its sinister side. When evidence of multiple thefts lead to Matt's door, he must deal with a mystery and yet more false accusations.
Do the old diaries of Amanda Rutherford Barlow hold the answers Matt so desperately seeks? Will Happenstance let him go, or does he have a reason to stay?
