In 1975, Helen Mendel married a widower and aircraft engineer, moved into his suburb in Los Angeles, 375 miles away from Area 51, and got herself merrily settled into a life of domestic bliss with nothing but her husbands pleasure on her mind.
Ethel Ashlock, wife of her husbands colleague, a depressed alcoholic addicted to Valium with unfulfilled dreams of becoming a pilot, hates her on sight. She thinks Helens just another boring, brain-washed housewife and doesnt make any effort to hide how much she detests her.
She doesnt realise Helen is not as commonplace as she appears; that she has synaesthesiathe ability to see sounds, hear images and taste feelingsand a past shes not telling anyone, not even her husband, about.
Things change when Helen, having tolerated enough of Ethels persistent hostility, lifts her veil of pretence. Ethel soon finds herself blackmailed, frightened, and also irresistibly intrigued by her new neighbour.
She becomes obsessed with getting Helen to like her and soon discovers they have more in common than she previously thought. Neither of them believe their husbands are truly aircraft engineers, for one, and neither of them believe Helens husbands former wife, Violet, actually killed herself in the year before
Together, the two women work to uncover the truth about Violets sudden death, until they discover the truth, not out there, but closer than either of them ever thought possible
