Suddenly, it is one mother’s word against the other’s in a court of public opinion that can end only in blood. The search for Shelly brings a shocking accusation against the Wildes. As tensions mount, a sinkhole opens in a nearby park, and Rhea’s daughter Shelly falls inside. By the time the story opens, the Wildes are outcasts. Maple Street’s Queen Bee, Rhea Schroeder - a lonely professor repressing a dark past-initially welcomed Gertie, but relations plummeted during one summer evening, when the new best friends shared too much, too soon. They don’t fit with the way Maple Street sees itself. Mum Gertie’s got a thick Brooklyn accent, with high heels and tube tops to match. Dad Arlo’s a gruff has-been rock star with track marks. When the Wilde family arrive, they trigger their neighbours’ worst fears. But menace skulks among this exclusive enclave. Welcome to Maple Street, a picture-perfect slice of suburban Long Island, its residents bound by their children, their work, and their illusion of safety in a rapidly changing world.
