Following her husband Caleb’s suicide, in Cleveland, dental hygienist Audrey Tate is having problems rebuilding her life in the small town of North Shade, Illinois. Her fifteen-year-old son, Benji, is seeing a psychiatrist once a week, and very rarely leaving his bedroom, and yet Audrey is still optimistic about the future. In contrast, Audrey’s neighbors, the Connels, seem to be completely normal. Husband Victor and his wife Joni have a recently replenished sex life, their son Brady has just graduated from high school at the top of his class, and their sixteen-year-old daughter Lorene has perfected the act of doing her own thing. However, as the summer’s cruel spin individually affects each family member, soon the true nature of their tainted lives is revealed.
