When Nora Griffin, an artist in her mid-thirties, moves from Brooklyn to Provincetown, she isn’t looking for trouble. Her partner, Janelle, is recovering from breast cancer treatment, and they have decided the quiet off-season on the tip of Cape Cod is the place for Janelle to heal and Nora to paint. Then charismatic Baby Harris flirts into Nora’s life in her red cowboy boots. Through a damp, windy winter Nora faces heartbreak, aging and local environmental worries while painting what she hopes will be her masterpiece, meeting chain-smoking landlady Miss Ruby, the vegan Unitarian minister Reverend Patsy, and Brunhilde, barista and rival for Baby’s affections. As the first tourists arrive in June, Nora must decide what she really wants.
