Beneath the affluent veneer of a Southern California housing tract, five neighbors (a realtor, an aerobics teacher, an ex-con, a Vietnam vet, and a teenage boy) confront death, betrayal, financial decline, loneliness, and encroaching fascism. Set in the politically tumultuous summer of 2017, each character searches for home and community in a neighborhood where no one can agree who belongs.

Brenda Lockhart¿s husband announces he¿s leaving her for an older, less attractive woman on the night of O.J. Simpson¿s slow speed chase through Southern California after the murder of his ex-wife. Devastated and lonely, Brenda becomes addicted to the media frenzy surrounding the murder investigations and trials. In the ensuing months, her whole family falls apart but ultimately comes together again in unexpected ways.
