Whittier Avenue, on the tranquil South Side of Minneapolis, seems to be a happy place in the spring of 1948. Below its sunny surface, however, the neighborhood seethes with dark secrets. Young family man Buddy Bailey is tormented by forbidden visions of a teenaged neighbor even as he plunges into a perilous affair with needy newcomer Cora Delafield. Meanwhile, Cora's husband, Henry, a frustrated shoe salesman with a sketchy past, schemes to seduce Buddy's unhappy wife, Evelyn. When Evelyn's brother, a shameless voyeur who has seen too much for his own good, is brutally murdered, both Buddy and Henry fall under suspicion, revealing new secrets and dangerous behavior that lurch inexorably toward disaster.
