A gripping and compassionate family drama set between neighbours in suburban New York

A gripping and compassionate family drama set between neighbours in suburban New York

Gillam, upstate New York: a town of ordinary, big-lawned suburban houses. The Gleesons have recently moved there and soon welcome the Stanhopes as their new neighbours. Lonely Lena Gleeson wants a friend but Anne Stanhope - cold, elegant, unstable - wants to be left alone.

When a terrible tragedy engulfs them all, the families are divided, seemingly for good. Until their children, Kate and Peter, meet again as adults, and the violence of the past must be vanquished by the power of love.
