Michael Conroy is a recently widowed college history
professor living alone with his ten-year-old son Grant in the
suburbs of Washington, DC. The death of Michael's wife Leah,
an FBI agent killed in the line of duty, continues to haunt both
father and son.
Michael and Grant are soon befriended by the Hunts, a vivacious,
All-American family new to the neighborhood. The parents, Oliver
and Cheryl Hunt, go out of their way to draw Michael into their
lives. Soon, Grant and young Brody Hunt become inseparable friends.
The Conroys' long period of mourning seems finally to be over.
As the two families become closer, Michael begins to have
misgivings about the gregarious Oliver. After catching Oliver
in a few insignificant lies, the more Michael learns about Oliver,
the more his uneasiness grows. With Grant spending more and more
time at the Hunts, Michael decides to check into the background
of his neighbors.
What he discovers deepens the mystery, arousing suspicions
that shake Michael to the core of his existence. The Hunts are
definitely not who they claim to be; but who are they? Why have
they come to Washington, DC?
