Lester e Carolyn Burnham appaiono dall'esterno una coppia perfetta, con una casa perfetta e un vicinato perfetto. In realtà Lester è un uomo, insoddisfatto della sua vita familiare e professionale, che sta cadendo in una sempre più profonda disperazione, quando improvvisamente conosce Angela, un'amica di sua figlia e se ne infatua. Nel frattempo Jane, la figlia di Lester ha conosciuto il loro timido e misterioso vicino di casa Ricky che vive oppresso da una figura paterna ossessiva.
