Shaker Heights. A calm, prosperous suburb of Cleveland, where everything is perfectly arranged, from the color of the houses to the regular cross roads to the successful lives of the residents. Mrs. Richardson lives here with her four children and her lawyer husband. Elena is a model resident of the area, a local journalist, and her most important principle is to follow the rules. Mia Warren, the mysterious photographer and single mother, and her teenage daughter, Pearl, move into this idyllic garden city bubble, who rent a house from the Richardson family, but in a short time they become not only tenants, but also begin to play an important role in the lives of the neighboring children. However, Mia, with a mysterious past, disrupts the everyday life of the well-ordered community when friends of the Richardsons want to adopt a Chinese-American baby, but the child's real mother unexpectedly shows up. A dramatic struggle ensues that divides the townspeople, and eventually Mia and Elena find themselves on opposite sides.
