What you need to know before your trail
The city elite gather here every year, trailing kids, their nannies (vital!), wine and seafood imported from Manhattan: hard workers need their playtime.
Take the Parkers and the Weinsteins. Lauren and Jen hold sway on the beach and the tennis court. Their husbands are childhood friends bearing grudges as deep as they are secret.

And while this season starts out quietly as any other, it soon changes when beneath the boardwalk, a body is found.
No one is claiming to be a good person. But is someone actually capable of murder?
