In the picturesque suburb of Grosse Pointe, where the garden club is the social epicenter, and reputation is far more important than reality, four unlikely allies find themselves trapped in secrets that may destroy everyone. NBC’s new drama “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” combines scandal, betrayal and mystery for your guesses in a seemingly perfect life of the upper middle and upper classes. Together.
At the heart of all this is Alice, a school teacher with literary ambitions whose world is stunned by professional disappointment and personal heartbreak. Brian is a rugged and kind gardener who has his own struggles – including a controversial battle of custody and pasts that won’t let him walk. Catherine, vice president of the Garden Association, seems to have a perfect life, but behind her carefully planned facade is a chaotic marriage with potentially explosive extramarital affair. Then there is Bertie – the infamous socialite and influencer whose charming image is more than just PR trouble.
