È la vigilia di Natale e Blythe è seduta in macchina a spiare la nuova vita di suo marito. Attraverso la finestra di una casa estranea osserva la scena di una famiglia perfetta, le candele accese, i gesti premurosi. E poi c'è Violet, la sua enigmatica figlia, che dall'altra parte del vetro, a sua volta, la sta fissando immobile. Negli anni, Blythe si era chiesta se fosse stata la sua stessa infanzia fatta di vuoti e solitudini a impedirle di essere una buona madre, o se invece qualcosa di incomprensibile e guasto si nascondesse dietro le durezze e lo sguardo ribelle di Violet.

I Loverly, proprietari della casa più lussuosa di Harlow Street, hanno organizzato un pomeriggio di fine estate tra amici: un party favoloso dal primo all'ultimo dettaglio, ma solo fino a quando Whitney Loverly, l'impeccabile padrona di casa, donna magnetica che richiama in egual modo malevolenze e ammirazione, si scaglia urlando contro il primogenito di dieci anni. Una scenata che gela all'istante l'atmosfera festaiola e gli invitati. Nove mesi più tardi, verso mezzanotte, quello stesso bambino cade dalla finestra della sua cameretta ed entra in coma.
