Everyone knows a couple like Jack
and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a
dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a
masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though
they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like
them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their
home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get
to know Grace better.
But it’s difficult, because you
realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.
Some might call this true love.
Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never
meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate
meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when
she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal
shutters on all the downstairs windows.
Some might wonder what’s really
going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.
