Steve always wanted to be a rock star.
Michelle always wanted to be an interior designer.
Then, they got married.
Two teenage kids, a steep mortgage and an Orange County Housewives lifestyle later… Steve and Michelle find themselve plodding through a life they don’t recognize.
Steve, owner of a small brokerage firm, feels his financial house of cards wobbling. Hiding late notices and ridiculous credit card bills, he longs to leave it all. Why not be in a rock band?
Michelle treasures her ‘designer everything’ proud that not one label is out of style–that not one rhinestone doesn’t sparkle just a little brighter than the neighbors’.
When Steve leaves her with suffocating debt, she vows to do anything to keep up the appearances. But as appearances grow too expensive, she faces a reality more humiliating than poverty.
Murder.
Will their son spend the rest of life in prison?
