The Nolans are a beautiful family in which Molly and Charlie have two wonderful children, Heather and Finn. They are just barely making ends meet when a visitor arrives at their home to inform them that they have inherited a multi-million dollar estate and mansion from Molly's father, whom she never met after she was given up for adoption.
The family relocates to the posh community of Blanca Bay that has all of the earmarks of exclusivity of a Martha's Vineyard. The audience knows from the prologue that Molly's father was murdered. Now, it is clear that someone in the community is targeting the Nolans.
The filmmakers were successful in evoking the smugness and snobbery of an elitist community. The actors were clearly enjoying themselves in developing characters dripping with condescension and attempting to humiliate the newcomers. There was even a trickle-down effect to the bratty children of the snobs of Blanca Bay.
There was not an enormous mystery in figuring out the villain. And the denouement was less than satisfactory in failing to disclose whether the Nolans might chose to make a beeline for their former home to escape the hornet's nest of Blanca Bay. Perhaps a sequel (or even a franchise) is in the offing to chronicle the further adventures of the Nolan clan in the snakepit.
