Description

Lou Connor wants to escape her emotionally crass family and life of poverty, so she travels from Sydney to the US as an exchange student. But her host-family, the Hardings - who live in a prefabricated mansion in a nameless Chicago suburb - are in suffocating pursuit of a particular form of suburban perfection. From the very beginning, nothing is as it seems.
