But menace sulks beneath the surface of this exclusive enclave, making its residents prone to outrage. When the Wilde family moves in, they trigger their neighbors' worst fears. Dad Arlo's a gruff has-been with track marks. mom Gertie's got a thick Brooklyn accent, with high heels and tube tops to match. Their weird kids cuss like sailors. They don't fit  the way Maple Street sees itself.

By the time the story opens, the Wilde family are outcasts. 

As tensions mount, a sinkhole opens at a nearby park, and Rhea's daughter Shelly falls inside. The search for Shelly brings a shocking accusation against the Wiles. Suddenly, it's one moms word against the other's in a public opinion that can only end in blood.
