Washington, DC, 1950. At Briarwood House, an all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the capital, residents keep to themselves, guarding their secrets behind white picket fences. The arrival of the enigmatic widow Grace March in the attic room changes everything. Grace draws her neighbors into unexpected friendships: Fliss, an English beauty hiding deep emotional scars; Nora, a policeman's daughter caught up with a gangster; Beatrice, a former baseball star whose career ended with the WWII women’s league; and Arlene, a fervent supporter of McCarthy's Red Scare.
Grace’s weekly dinner parties and sun tea brewed in her window become a source of comfort for the women. Yet, Grace harbors a dark secret. When violence disrupts their lives, the women of Briarwood House must confront the real threat among them.
