Robert and Lynn Ferguson are a picture perfect couple with two beautiful daughters and a lovely home in an exclusive Connecticut community. Robert is on the fast track of a major corporation. Lynn is devoted to her family and good works. But the Fergusons' closed doors hide a painful secret Lynn must keep from the world - and her children - at any cost...
Not even the Fergusons' best friends, Josie and Bruce Lehman know of Lynn's shame. Social worker Josie sees her bruises, distrusts the too-ambitious, too-perfect Robert, and suspects the real cause of the children's increasingly disturbed behavior. But not even Josie can pierce Lynn's wall of silence, a wall that will not crumble until Lynn is forced to face herself - and the truth - at last.
