 It is the
fall of 1957. The Whitakers make their home in Hartford, Connecticut.
Their daily existences are characterized by carefully-observed
family etiquette, social events and an overall desire to keep
up with the Joneses. Cathy Whitaker (Moore) is the homemaker,
wife and mother. Frank (Quaid) is the breadwinner, husband and
father. They have two pre-teen children, a boy and a girl. As
the story unfolds, Cathy's pristine world is transformed. Her
interactions with her gardener, Raymond Deagan (Dennis Haysbert)
her best friend, Eleanor Fine (Patricia Clarkson), and her maid,
Sybil (Viola Davis), reflect the upheavals in her life. Cathy
is faced with choices that spur gossip within the community and
change several lives forever.
