American Island Properties has had money-making sucess subdividing pristine, undeveloped, waterfront land into small lots in Massachusetts and Florida. They're convinced money talks and that Eagle Haveners are basicly stupid and will easily roll over to their clever schemes, bribes and legal shenanigans - including murder. One lobster fishing family owns property in the middle of the proposed subdivision and with the help of fellow islanders, tries to keep the pristine property intact and drive the developer from the island.
