Laura Halpern is in a happy marriage to her husband Greg, and they have a beautiful seven-year-old boy named Jamie. But Laura makes an error in judgment in falling for the seductive carpenter who is remodeling the family kitchen. While Jesus may have been a carpenter, Elliott Graverston is the mama's boy builder from hell.
In Elliott's past, there was a fateful fire of the family home on Danton Island. Both Elliott's beloved mother Stella and her new husband perished in the flames. Laura is led to Danton Island through a lead on the blog about Elliott that was written by a user named "Purple Wallflower."
Laura discovers from a local café owner that Purple Wallflower is in fact Winnie Hammell, who is almost the spitting image of Laura. She learns that Elliott had nearly busted up the marriage of the Hammells, just as he is attempting to destroy the relationship of Greg and Laura. One casualty in the film is Greg's assistant Hannah Jopkins, who questions Elliott's masculinity and pays the ultimate price.
There was a good set of secondary characters, including Laura's effervescent neighbor Myra and Norma Delizie, the garrulous owner of a local bakery. Norma has a set of photos on her wall that includes one of Stella and her little boy Elliott. It is from Norma that Laura learns the details of the mysterious fire that took the life of Stella and marked forever the little arsonist and mama's boy who burned down the home on Danton Island.

4.3Plot summary
Married for close to ten years, Laura and Greg Halpern still love each other but don't seem to be in sync on many levels, from parenting their seven year old son Jamie, to the priorities on discretionary spending - Laura who wants a new kitchen, while Greg focuses on what Laura considers the money pit of their sailboat - to Laura believing that Greg spends too much time at work - to their sex life. Greg gives into Laura on the issue of the kitchen when they meet Elliot Graverston, a contractor and sailor who offers to do the project at a reduced rate. Mira, Laura's married friend, opened up to her about the fact that she would willingly cheat with Elliot but, while finding him attractive, Laura remains committed to her wedding vows to Greg despite their problems. When Laura discovers circumstantial evidence that Greg is having an affair, she believing with his work assistant Hanna, Laura turns to Elliot for emotional support, who in turn offers himself sexually to her. In the process of Laura trying to figure out what to do about Greg and about Elliot, she is unaware that Elliot has a troubled past, stemming from his childhood when his father was never there and his mother was moving from one open fling to another. As such, all the Halperns and anyone who is close to them may be in danger at Elliot's hands if Laura ends up turning more to him.

The Fateful Fire on Danton Island
More like Psycho in the neighbourhood
Although I have to admit, I don't even remember where he was staying at. And this is a TV movie, believe there is nothing that will surprise you. Well unless you include certain acting choices I guess. Since this was made for TV there is also no racy stuff never mind anything explicit like nudity. Just pointing this out, in case anyone thought otherwise.
This should not play a role in how much you enjoy this or rather in this case do not enjoy watching it. Some odd editing choices make certain scenes and the acting seem more wooden than it probably is (no pun intended). Ms. Butler is pretty and the infidelity predator is too. So while it lacks other qualities, maybe you like looking at good looking people
Pure Garbage
If you want to lose 1hour and half or start to sleep so fast it's perfect!!!! 30cent for big marshmellow's bag is better than spent in electricity to view this garbage
