Synopsis
|
||||||||||||
|
The Blake's move into a beautiful neighborhood where the dynamics are directed with gale force by the Women of Seashell Drive. The Men are shells and the Children are seasonal accouterments drawn out for necessary social engagements. Will Seashell Drive envelop the Blake's or will they see behind the facade? |

General Information
|
||||||||||||
|
Seashell Drive is a large cul-de-sac where the houses are all beautiful but the higher the number on the street, the more opulent the home. Odd numbered houses are on the right with evens on the left. Number 5 sits at the top of the cul-de-sac. The cars are late model, top of the line and uniform. The neighborhood looks like an FBI parking lot. Needless to say, everyone is exquisitely attired and properly mannered. When they know it's in their best interest. Remember, face value is free. |
