Synopsis |
|
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, when she catches her
husband in a homosexual affair. Her
interactions with her gardener,
Raymond Deagan (Haysbert; her best
friend, Eleanor Fine (Clarkson); and
her maid, Sybil (Davis), reflect the
upheavals in her life. Cathy is
faced with choices that spur gossip
within the community and change
several lives forever. |
