A darkly-comedic tale of murder and mischief in the tranquil beachfront town of Monterey, California. Amidst doting moms, successful husbands, beautiful children, and stunning homes exists a community fueled by rumors and divided into haves and have-nots, exposing fractured relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbors. Told through the eyes of three mothers--Madeline, Celeste, and Jane--the series' narrative explores society's myths regarding perfection and its romanticization of marriage, sex, parenting, and friendship.
