The Hawthornes are a glamorous family, with a sprawling mansion, successful businesses, and a reputation for philanthropy and social activism. But beneath the surface, they are a family full of secrets and lies.

When a grisly murder takes place in their city, the Hawthornes quickly become entangled in the investigation.

The show also features several notable guest stars, including Virginia Madsen as Madeline Hawthorne, the matriarch of the family, who is hiding her own secrets, and Jamey Sheridan as Mitchell Hawthorne, the patriarch who is stricken with guilt over his family's past.
