Nestled among Manhattan University's faculty housing, there is a garden where four women will meet each with a scandalous secret that could upset their lives, destroy their families, and rock the prestigious university to its very core. With its maple trees, iron gate, and fence laced with honeysuckle, Manhattan U's garden offers faculty wives Mary, Sofia, Ashleigh, and Hannah much needed refuge from their problems. But as Mary's husband, the power-hungry dean, plans to demolish their beloved garden, these four women will discover a surprising secret about a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript and realize they must find the courage to stand up for their passions, dreams, and desires.
