Set in the fictional community of Woodbridge, New York, the series was concerned with the Ames family, their family secrets, and to their all consuming hidden passions.

This soap opera was considered a dark and moody serial. The Secret Storm was good and clever at telling the story of the long-suffering Ames family and their seemingly endless domestic tragedies.
