Description
"1956, Malibu, California. With her name on the Hollywood blacklist, starlet Melanie Cole has little choice in company. There is her next-door neighbor, Elwood, but the screenwriter's agoraphobia allows for just short chats through open windows. He's her sole confidante, though, as she and her housekeeper, Eva, rarely make conversation. Then one early morning Melanie and Eva spot Elwood's sister-in-law, June, digging in his rose garden. After that they don't see Elwood at all anymore. As they try to find out if something has happened to him, unexpected secrets are revealed among all three women, leading to an alliance. But one little spark could send it all up in smoke"--
