The dramatic breakup of Hailey and Tim divides the perfect, tight knit suburb of The Bay. Old friends are at war, and some are no longer talking. It's total chaos and Maxine is caught in the middle. Should she stay out of it? Hell yes. But that's not her style; Max must get to the bottom of it!

Why? Because lovelorn Maxine wants back the symmetry that Tim and Hailey's Romeo and Juliet-esque partnership brought to the community, and because something fishy is going on. Who's to blame? What went wrong? Can it be fixed? Why does Maxine care so much?

To make matters worse, the event the whole community has been waiting for is fast approaching; Hailey's sister is set to be married. It'll be an absolute disaster unless Maxine can heal the rifts between neighbours and get her best friends talking again.

Taking on an amateur detective role, Maxine is determined to find the truth and put The Bay back together. It's a mammoth task, and Maxine only hopes she can do it without losing her friendships with Tim and Hailey.

Will Tim escape the Norwegian stalker Kjesten? Who's the freaky Olaf guy following Maxine? And can Maxine possibly find love herself?
