Nodding to ‘Jaws,’ ‘Widow’s Bay’ casts a shadow on an island with strange happenings
Currently, Tom has lived in Widow’s Bay for years – ever since his son, Evan Southwick, was born – and also spent childhood summers there. Despite this, he often seems like an outsider, both in the town and as mayor. While he knows many people, including Reverend Bryce (played by Toby Huss), he’s often ridiculed for seemingly no reason, and was only elected because no one ran against him. Tom’s main goal is to attract tourists to the island, and he manages to convince a travel writer from the New York Times to visit. Though things don’t go smoothly, an article is published, and tourists begin to arrive.
