Summary |
In the eclectic Brooklyn neighborhood of Cobble Hill, the lives of four married couples and their children are about to flip from complicated to combustible... Mandy is so underwhelmed by motherhood that she's faking a debilitating disease to get the attention of her ex-boy band celebrity husband Stuart. There's the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, who Stuart secretly has a crush on, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-canceling headphones - everywhere. A few streets away, Roy, a well-known British novelist, has lost his way with his next novel, and his marriage to Wendy, who knows exactly where she's going. Around the corner, Tupper struggles to salvage his career and to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. She remains...elusive. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac and a lot of hidden cameras, and Cobble Hill becomes an explosive mix of egos, desires and secrets. |
