Behind every perfect family is a perfect lieIt's the summer of 1985 and Hanna Gordon's mother is preparing a neighborhood barbecue to watch the biggest music event in history: Live Aid. It will be a day like no other and will end having changed the lives of all who attended or watched from afar. Hanna would rather do anything than participate in her mother's extravagant party. But Lydia Gordon insists on perfection and is determined to impress, no matter the cost. Forced into the event, Hanna, her father, and her little brother must play the perfect family. As guests flood into number nine, so do all the things they've tried to keep hidden. Rita, a new neighbor from Australia, harbors a shocking event in her past; Steve, a young veteran, grapples with his fear and trauma; and Mr. Wilson is definitely too good-looking to ever be trusted. And as the hours count down to the last performance of the night, Hanna and her family must confront their own secrets—secrets that threaten the flawless façade the Gordons have put on for so long.
