A picture perfect family moves into a typical American town, impressing the locals and becoming integrating themselves into every aspect of the community until a sudden tragedy forces them to reassess their priorities. Steve (David Duchovny) and Kate Jones (Demi Moore) have everything a happily married couple could ever want: their kids Jenn (Amber Heard) and Mick (Ben Hollingsworth) are intelligent and handsome, they live in an affluent neighborhood, and their sprawling suburban home is jam packed with all of the coolest gizmos and gadgets that money can buy. It isn't long before each of the Joneses have become integral components of their community, and struck up a close friendship with their next-door neighbors Larry (Gary Cole) and Summer (Glenne Headly). But take a closer look at the situation and you'll start to see something ominous lurking just beneath the surface. It's only when the Joneses are confronted with an unexpected disaster that they finally discover who they really are beneath the glossy veneer of consumerism.
