In the serene backdrop of Haliburton County, nestled amidst tranquil lakes and lush greenery, lies a family cottage that's about to become the stage for a captivating tale of love, suspense, and the unexpected. Todd Chipowski, a diligent thirtysomething, and his meticulously organized girlfriend, Cammie Ryan, plan to escape their mundane routines for a week-long retreat at this idyllic lakefront haven. The highlight of this getaway - Todd's meticulously planned proposal to Cammie, set to unfold on a picturesque island in the heart of the lake. However, a series of unforeseen events conspire to disrupt their romantic escapade. A demanding boss detains Todd at work, delaying their departure; a vagrant on the road nearly causes an accident, and worst of all, the unexpected arrival of Todd's wayward younger brother Salinger and his eccentric Eastern European girlfriend, Masha, shatters their solitude. Despite Todd's efforts to maintain harmony through an online booking system for the family cottage, Salinger, the perennial rebel, pays no heed.
