Maddie, Claire, Marie and Sherry all decide to take a risk in the middle of their lives and open a café together after their friend Phil makes their dream possible far sooner than they thought. It’s a bit of a risk personally and financially, though the only real issues seem to be Claire’s half-imagined rivalry with Maddie for Phil’s affection, and Marie’s refusal to entertain any menu item that might appeal to the loathsome “Foodies.” But soon the secret that brought these women together resurfaces, threatening not only the viability of the Café, but their very freedom. Widow’s Walk examines the complex bonds that tie us to relationships, especially when those bonds are strained by unwelcome insights and desperate circumstances.
