Flappy Scott-Booth es la autoproclamada reina del panorama social de Badley Compton, un pueblo pintoresco de Devon. Mientras su marido Kenneth se pasa el día en el campo de golf, ella está ocupada supervisando su preciosa casa y sus jardines, y organizando eventos inolvidables, rodeada de amigos que no pierden detalle de todo lo que dice. Su vida es un reflejo de sí misma. Es extremadamente perfecta. Hasta el día en que Hedda Harvey-Smith y su marido Charles se mudan al pueblo, a una casa todavía más grande que la suya, apartándola del frente de la escena social, literalmente. Flappy está decidida a enseñarle a Hedda cómo se hacen las cosas en Bradley Compton, pero se cruza con los preciosos ojos verdes de Charles. De repente, su atención se centra en otros asuntos. Al fin y al cabo, es humana.
