Sam Kostas is a popular mystery writer with a bad case of writer’s block. He’s recently moved to a large Victorian house on the coast of Newport, Rhode Island hoping to gain inspiration for his next novel. However, his writer’s block seems worse than ever, until a strange young man by the name of Will Adler comes into his life with cakes and craziness, and insists that Sam’s house belongs to him. It’s all-out war between the two until they both realize that they actually just might like each other. Maybe. Even as they fall in love, the battle for the house is on until the very end.
