Josephine Hurst has her family under control. With two beautiful daughters, a brilliantly intelligent son, a tech-guru husband, and a historical landmark home, her life is picture-perfect. She has everything she wants all she has to do is keep it that way. But living in this matriarch's determinedly cheerful, yet subtly controlling domain hasn't been easy for her family, and when her oldest daughter Rose, runs off with a mysterious boyfriend, Josephine tightens her grip, gradually turning her flawless home into a darker sort of prison.
Resentful of her sister's newfound freedom, Violet turns to Eastern philosophy, hallucinogenic drugs, and extreme fasting, eventually landing herself in the pysch ward. Meanwhile, her brother, Will, shrinks further into a world of self-doubt. Recently diagnosed with Asperger's and epilepsy, he's separated from the other kids around town and is home-schooled to ensure his safety. Their father, Douglas, finds resolve in the bottom of the bottle - an addict craving his own chance to escape. Josephine struggles to maintain the family's impeccable façade, but when a violent incident leads to a visit from child-protective services, the truth about the Hursts might finally be revealed.
