Kate Cooper is pretty, rumpled and the mother of two. She is almost content. Her husband, James is handsome and successful, but imprisoned in his own reserve. Their next door neighbour, Sam Green, is an aspiring novelist, whose time, if he is truthful, is devoted to nothing much. His wife, Jetta, an elegant and busy career woman, is far too preoccupied to pay attention to her family.
And Marion, their fat, spotty daughter, is dreaming her way dangerously through adolescence ...
During one blazing summer, their lives converge in unexpected ways, and the resulting eddies of passion and dislocation threaten to rock the boat of their tranquil everyday lives.
