In the gilded enclave of Wilshire, Rosalyn Barlow is waging a battle to silence the scandalous gossip that threatens her teenage daughter Caitlin's reputation while her self-made billionaire husband grows more distant in his early retirement. Newcomer Sarah Livingston has nothing but disdain for everyone and everything around her while she dreads having another child in a world she's come to resent. As she is pulled into the Barlow family's storm, the walls begin to close in around her marriage and the life she once thought she wanted. And for Jacqueline Halstead, who's just discovered her husband is under investigation for fraud, saving her family from ruin means doing the unthinkable - and shaking the Barlow family, Wilshire's insular community, and herself to the core.
