Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how
Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone
around the bend and burned the house down. In Shaker Heights, a
placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously
planned - from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of
the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to
lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson,
whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren -
an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic
bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the
Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all
four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But
Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the
rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a
custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town - and puts
Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives,
Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her
obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost . . .
