Storyline
Synopsis/ Storyline: Newcomer Cindy tries to fit in with her seemingly perfect new neighbors, but their condescending comments about her stay-at-home status and homeschooled daughter leave a bitter taste. When Cindy reveals her past success and daughter's Ivy League scholarship, their smug smiles vanish. After Julie, the neighborhood queen bee, gloats about her daughter's achievements, a call shatters her facade. Will Cindy offer a helping hand, or relish Julie's misfortune?
