The Rumor – Elin Hinderbrand<\/p><\/div>\n

Rumors abound on the small island of Nantucket.\u00a0 When Madeline, a best-selling author, has trouble coming up with an idea for her new book, she looks to get back her investment in a group of houses being built by her best friend Grace’s husband, which the rumor mill then turns into the two of them having an affair.\u00a0 Grace, meanwhile, is having an affair, with the landscaper she is working with on her award-winning yard, which the rumor mill turns into her being pregnant with his love child.\u00a0 In the midst of all this, Grace’s husband Eddie is broke and looking to make a quick buck to get himself back on his feet.\u00a0 When a shady opportunity falls into his lap, he decides to go along with it, which ultimately puts him in a bad position.<\/p>\n
