Winifred is blunt, opinionated, and outrageously colourful. In a community that demands domesticity, she simply doesn't fit. When her wealthy husband suddenly dies, Winifred's fellow society housewives no longer have a reason to play nice. Cast out entirely, Winifred throws roaring parties for the clerks and waiters that serve the town, finding the connections she's been craving - and upsetting the gentle balance of her elite neighbourhood in the process. Flailing artist Marie wants to paint over her past before the painful memories consume her. On the brink of making a longtime dream come true, her newfound friendship with Winifred might be the key to finally moving forward - or her undoing. High-society housewife June weathers a chronic pain that would make other women faint. With her veneer crumbling, she has no patience for the free spirit shaking up her community.
