Barbie Bentley has everything: great kids, a gorgeous Mediterranean in Florida, loyal friends, and a successful husband. Yet she's unhappy, longing for a secret something that has to do with the emptiness in her heart. Restless, she returns to college where she meets hunky Greek pre-med student, Nick Diamandis. Friendship morphs into an affair when Barbie retaliates after husband, Bud, betrays her by tearing down her gazebo. Life becomes stickier when a friend risks losing her waterfront mobile home to developers and asks for Barbie's help. But good intentions can lead to you-know-where, and Barbie concludes a triumphant protest march in jail. More trouble is just around the bayou when Barbie unwittingly becomes mixed up in a crime scene and police suspect her of being involved. Can things possibly get worse for Barbie?
