The elite of Houston praise them as the golden couple---charming, perfect, untouchable. But behind the public image, it's all a lie. Vivian's only job was to make Damien look like the ideal husband and father. After three years, Damien places divorce papers in front of her, expecting a quick, uncontested split.
