Hertford, Connecticut; 1957. Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) is at the heart of her picket-fenced community, her husband Frank (Dennis Quaid) is a successful businessman and her two young children are little bundles of perfection, with her daughter wishing to one day grow up to be just like her mother, though her son is a little foul-mouthed ("Ah jeez" is not the kind of language Cathy tolerates). But beneath the surface of floating dresses and pristine curls, all is not well. It's clear from Cathy's expression that, though her friends must all put up with their husbands' occasional demands for intercourse, Cathy has no such problems, for Frank hides a secret; whenever he is 'working late' he tends to be frequenting a bar aimed only at male patrons that want to get to know each other a little better.
