Villanelle tells the story of a hard drinking but honorable, down on his luck, Travis Burke (Rich Tretheway). After a storied career as Boston Police Detective taking down high profile criminals, Burke has an indiscretion and is compelled to leave his life behind. Making the difficult decision to stay in law enforcement, Burke acquires the position of Chief of Police in the township of New Shoreham.
This story takes place during New Shoreham's off season. New Shoreham is a small island community that thrives with tourists during the summer months, but quickly becomes desolate the remainder of the year.
Old habits die hard for Chief Burke, who is pulled back into his old school sense of justice when he's approached by Dawn (Gillian Williams), an intriguing, beautiful, and mysterious woman who was attacked, and left for dead.
