在这部Summer's Lease剧情/悬疑片中,Molly Pargeter是三个女儿的母亲，生活在伦敦西区。她的生活平淡无奇，与出轨的丈夫感觉冷淡。她消磨时光的方式主要就是看侦探小说和文艺书籍。一次在报纸上她看中意大利的一处别墅，于是准备全家八月去那里度假。谁知到那里以后，发生了一系列稀奇古怪的事情，Molly发誓查明真相
From the DVD box: The minute she sets eyes on it, Molly Pargeter knows that the Tuscan Villa she has found to lease is perfect for her family's summer holiday. She is powerfully drawn to its rustic beauty and to the enigma of its absentee landlord. Never mind that her husband and teenage daughter are vocally unenthusiastic and that her outrageously extroverted father tricks them into taking him along. As the family goes sightseeing and gathers for candlelit dinners on the terrace, Molly becomes increasingly obsessed with unravelling the secrets of the villa's owner and of the British expatriates and locals they encounter. Her father lends a hand with the sleuthing while remaining on the prowl, zeroing in on a certain rich widow with whom he shares a romantic past.
