Dr. Eileen Olivia Neal—her closest friends call her “Eon”—has asked her loved ones to gather on Cape Cod after her death. Charged with carrying out her last request, Tim Cavendish brings friends and family together to memorialize Eon—and complete another important and surprising task.
For years Eon was in love—but never in a relationship—with Nick DiDominico. Old wounds kept Eon and Nick apart, but with little time left to live, Eon asks Tim Cavendish to arrange a meeting after her death between her loved ones and the man she’s always loved. Everyone convenes on Cape Cod to honor Eon. Over dinner at Tim’s house, they remember their friend and her contributions to their lives. But trouble erupts when an unwanted guest arrives and threatens to undermine Eon’s most important request. Will this man steal Eon’s parting gift and thwart her dying wish?
Told from the varied perspective of Eon’s friends and family, Brewster Flats is the story of the love behind one woman’s attempt to atone for past wrongs and redeem a future she will not live to see.
