Hildy Goodová žije od narodenia vo Wendoveri, pôvabnom starosvetskom mestečku na Severnom pobreží severne od Bostonu, a pozná tam skoro každého. Vie o všetkom, čo sa v meste odohrá, a keďže je úspešnou realitnou agentkou, matkou a babičkou, cez deň sa takmer nezastaví. No keď si jej dcéry vezmú do hlavy, že priveľa pije, a donútia ju absolvovať protialkoholické liečenie, Hildine večery začnú byť veľmi osamelé. Jej život sa zmení, keď sa do mestečka prisťahujú bohatí manželia McAllisterovci. Hildy sa s Rebekou McAllisterovou spriatelí. Spoločne zaháňajú smútky neškodnými klebietkami a potajomky aj fľašou vína pri kozube. Lenže onedlho sa v meste začne klebetiť aj o Rebeke. Hildy sa ju pokúša chrániť, no jej dávny priateľ Frank Getchell ju pred Rebekou varuje. To, čo spočiatku vyzeralo ako nevinné tajomstvo, sa postupne prepletá s inými tajomstvami a udalosti naberú nečakaný spád.
