Addie Peabody does not change her attitude towards Jack. As this is a matter of public record, soon the entire town becomes aware of his past. Under New Hampshire law, Jack is required to register with the local police department as a convicted sex offender. He begins a romantic relationship with Addie Peabody, the woman who co-owns and operates the diner with her father and is mourning the death of her young daughter, Chloe, from bacterial meningitis at six years old. Without revealing the details of his past, he is hired on as a dishwasher, assisting the owner in the kitchen. Jack's mother, a crusader for women's rights and running an improvised "halfway house" for prostitutes, refuses to believe his claims of innocence and abandons him.Īfter serving his sentence, Jack wants to have a fresh start, which he finds when he wanders into a diner in Salem Falls, New Hampshire.
When Jack is falsely accused of having an inappropriate relationship with one of his students, he pleads guilty to a lesser charge and is sentenced to eight months in prison.
Jack is a very highly educated high school teacher at a private school for girls in New England.
