A seductive story of a seemingly perfect family and the forbidden desires that threaten to tear them apart. Cathy Whitaker has it all - a lovely home, two wonderful children and a handsome husband, who is successfully climbing the corporate ladder. But Cath's idyllic existence is just an illusion, and she is eventually forced to choose between living a lie or following her heart.
Synopsis: 1950s-set drama looks at a Connecticut housewife who discovers the dark underside lurking beneath her idyllic suburban existence. Engrossing melodrama pays homage to Douglas Sirk while drawing parallels with modern life.
