SYNOPSIS
What begins as a curiously un-ironic snapshot of 1950s American values is soon transformed into a tangle of competing conflicts, igniting Cathy’s friendships with her formidable gardener, Raymond (Dennis Haysbert), her plucky best friend (Patricia Clarkson), and maid, Sybil (Viola Davis). As secrets are revealed, Cathy is faced with choices that spur hatred and gossip within the community. She comes to recognize her own desires, even as, in the process, she has to give up the object of them.
