Step into picture-perfect Wilshire, home to some of the most
privileged people in the world, where one woman's desperate act
could bring the precariously balanced social order crashing
down...
Wilshire, Connecticut, the gilded enclave of Manhattan's
prosperous elite, appears to be a vision of suburban tranquility:
the mansions are tastefully designed, the lawns are expertly
manicured, and the streets are as hushed as the complexities in the
residents' lives. Rosalyn Barlow, the most envied woman in
Wilshire, is waging a battle of social manipulation to silence the
scandalous gossip that threatens her daughter's reputation while
her self-made billionaire husband grows more and more distant in
his young retirement. But for fourteen year-old Caitlin Barlow,
navigating life as a teenager in a culture of wealth and sexual
promiscuity has become far more perilous than either of her parents
knows. Newcomer Sarah Livingston has nothing but disdain for
everyone and everything around her and a growing terror at having
another child in a world she's come to resent. As she is pulled
into the Barlow family's storm, the walls begin to close in around
her marriage and the life she once thought she wanted. And for
Jacqueline Halstead, who's just discovered her husband is under
investigation for fraud surrounding his hedge fund, saving her
family from total ruin means doing the unthinkable - and shaking
the Barlow family, Wilshire's insular community, and herself to the
core.
